Very resourceful links! Thanks! I wasn't doubting there are issues regarding Signal, especially considering its ties to the US, as I saw a video regarding its controversies. My point I wanted to make is there is no 100% secure application, and there will be bugs and vulnerabilities among applications we think we can trust. I believe Signal is still a major improvement regarding security, at least compared to Discord, but I would prefer XMPP, Matrix, etc. if I had the choice. Though I understand if an encrypted system is compromised, it's just as a good as being unencrypted, so if it turns out the US is getting sufficient information from Signal through a backdoor and the subpoena I mentioned was just for show, I hope PSL would consider migrating to Matrix or something more trustworthy. Then again, when the going gets tough, we may have to abandon our phones and electronics to stay safe and find ways to make revolutionary change under a police state.
For sure, and thank you for doing this work for your branch. Enough people need to push for the use of more secure platforms, (esp getting off google), and I hope that eventually becomes a mandatory directive, not just for PSL, but all parties.
