Wow, Signal is end-to-end encrypted and secure, now switching to some random service that stores all their message is mindblowingly stupid
They got shit for being stupid and using a public FOSS app that skirts the law.
It makes a kind of sense they would switch to something worse, because of the aforementioned stupid part.
Actually, the Signal protocol turned out to be fatally flawed in that, if you added the editor of a major publication to your group chat, all of your conversations would end up on the news the next day. Honestly a pretty egregious vulnerability.
As are they… 🤷♂️ 🤦♀️
