  We need to separate the code from the people running the service. Which is not possible with signal.

  I am NOT saying the average person should be concerned with CIA spying. What I’m saying is that one should promote decentralized internet infrastructures that empower the individual over corrupt institutions, even though this threat model likely does not apply to you. XMPP is just as easy to use use as Signal.

  If you use Signal messenger, you have to trust the Signal foundation, which uses Amazon’s AWS for the cloud. So you’re trusting CIA military contractors. I am NOT saying that Signal is a CIA tool. What I’m saying is that you are trusting and obeying a centralized authority, as opposed to being able to run code on your own server. And this contributes to the centralization of the internet and a loss of freedom.

    Ok. I trust the Signal fundation. What cloud service it’s running on is is really only relevant when it comes to stability and AWS is very stable.

    So you’re trusting CIA military contractors.

    I have no idea what you’re even talking avbout.

      You trust Signal? Are you by chance retarded? I bet you trust Apple as well, they advertise that they are private, right?
