> Wouldn't it be simpler to just trust Signal not to watch what you are texting to your significant other This doesn't hold in practice, you simply cannot trust any single entity about this, since it's bound to be abused eventually. > You know, you could run a $2/month xmpp server that would serve you just fine, and you wouldn't have to worry about any threat of this kind. So instead of managing my client, I need to manage both my client and a server, and trust this server on top of the client? That's obviously worse, I'm starting to think you're trolling.
