Same goes with current days comms, apps like signal, whatsapp, “”privacy first””, whatever are all should assumed to be honeypots, and I always base my comms around that. The only comms I trust are emails+gpg. P.S. before some schmuck die hard fan for signal start defending it: Why do you think still it NEEDS your phone number and relies on a broken protocol (GSM) to authenticate/ID (or even 2F), a protocol easily accessible especially and quickly by 3 litters agencies? Why during the whatsapp (default app in so many countries made by the company who doesn’t respect your data), why during the down time of WhatsApp, Siganl was shilled so heavily on social media as if it was the only viable way of alternative communication? Do you have access to the server-side of signal any time you want? How do you guarantee that there are no side loaded software at the server level with backdoors, or memory injected, non-persistent backdoors/malware? Even if it was audited, no guarantee it didn’t happen after, so you have to “trust” whoever is running that server. E2EE doesn’t encrypt meta data, contacts data, location, etc. and even that encryption with the physical access to the server side, theoretically can be broken.
