You have the source code to Signal. You can see exactly how it protects you from government (and other) surveillance.
To be clear: it does better than anything else you can find in an app store.
- kuschku 10y agoI can do the same with Telegram. I can’t verify the source code of the server, or run my own federated server (Moxie doesn’t do federation), and I can’t trust that Moxie’s server doesn’t relay metadata to a government. > To be clear: it does better than anything else you can find in an app store. Wrong, proof by counterexample: Conversations.im is also in appstores, is also open source, but, because it’s an XMPP client, I can run my own servers, and federate, and ensure the servers are also secure.
