No. Pavel Durov is a nut and he is not out there saving private communication. Signal is offering the most accessible e2ee messenger right now. Telegram has questionable security on their optional e2ee chats which is also not the default.
But the people trying to save e2ee in europe are activists and politicians. Patrick Breyer has done excellent reporting on the chat control plans of the EU.
Durov is just some dude peddling his mid messenger
I think you're confusing it, I haven't heard that at least but it's possible I missed it! Though signals apps and I believe even server code are open source so this would have been tricky to accomplish.

Doesn't matter. In the reach of EU, some law about Chat Control. If they make this into law, no provider within the EU will have a choice in this matter.

Wasn't Signal revealed to have NSA backdoor or I am confusing it with something else?
I have googled it and I just found this report here.

Okay, now I'm wondering, can we actually check if servers run on this published code or modified version?
no, but the client code already guarantees e2ee

good thing Signal is US-based. I hope it will remain possible to use their service in the EU though...
