Is Signal fighting it? What's to stop this from happening?
Signal is pushing back on these claims: https://twitter.com/signalapp/status/1389767227570798595
Sure. If you don't trust Signal to not do that, then you likely aren't using Signal.
Tweet thread from Signal's founder (that touches on some topics in the article) https://twitter.com/moxie/status/1474067549574688768
"The glaring security problems in Signal"?
How much can one trust Signal for secure communication?
Similarly dissapointed but looking at Signal's past choices (barely open source server, no plans to federate, aggression against modified clients, extensive use and lack of criticism for SGX) monero wasn't even on the table.
it is realistically selfish. Also Signal app/server is open-source. Anyone could churn up a server and fly under the radar.
I wrote TFA. Signal is a nonprofit. The article says to use Signal-protocol-based messengers, of which there are several. Your objection about money doesn't make sense.
Signal doesnt have a backdoor. You might be misguided By the media. Signal is one of the best software and foundations to exist. Period.
