- lxgr 2y agoTo quote Signal themselves: > Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time [1] While I don't consider this a critical bug requiring an immediate technical remediation from Signal, this should definitely be either fixed or called out in the documentation at some point.

- Aachen 2y agoThe sentence before the one you quoted gives the essential context: > Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. They're not saying that it is an anonymisation proxy, they're saying the messages and calls are encrypted for the recipient rather than to the server

There is a limit to how many warning stickers we need in the world. If you want to rely on a particular feature, maybe check that the product supports said feature. Signal does encryption, not onion routing
