    Bad actors are sowing distrust by implying that Signal is not secure. Always remember that the powers that be don’t want the public to have encrypted comms and would love to ban private messaging apps altogether. I could also be completely wrong and Signal is in fact a fed honeypot…

    The code is open-source though, and I’m hoping that individuals more learned than I would surely alert us if there were any backdoors/exploits…

      You have to be very tinfoil hat to believe that this current administration is capable of anything so sophisticated as a misdirection.

      There are many things you can complain about when it comes to signal, but overall it’s a huge improvement from unencrypted messengers like discord and definitely a step leap in the right direction
