- square_usual 5y agoThis isn't about trusting the app dev at all, this is about trusting that Google didn't tamper anything. Whether or not trust a dev, you can't trust that you are getting what the dev intended. If you download a version of Signal Google silently changed to include a backdoor, it doesn't matter whether you trust Signal or not: Google will get all of your data.
