I would probably disagree on nuclear weapons: the lack of access to the latest semiconductors cannot wipe the humanity out, it merely retards the development of indigenous industries (other than semiconductor). Huawei ban is a message to th

Once shared, the data remains in the signal servers, accessible to anyone with subpoena. Even if there will be an option to turn it off, the damage is already done. Or may be I am missing something?

JS gets loaded from a sync server, no verifiable open source client, no documentation explaining security architecture. It may or may not be E2E encrypted.

This is all good, until someone in Product changes the requirements. Now instead of 3 and 5 they need 7 and 11. All these clever tricks will require a complete re-write and re-test. And since the company decided to pick theit employees ba
