The head of the Signal app has criticized plans in the EU to allow messengers to have backdoors to enable automatic searches for criminal content. Signal is considered one of the most secure messengers.

I mean lol, they require a phone number to sign up, which you can only get with an ID in many countries. You chat with a gestapo officer and they know where you life.
Signal IS GARBAGE. Fucking garbage article, gaslighting bullshit. Fuck this timeline. Honestly this article is fucking terrorism.
Even if signal was insecure and had no privacy (which it it secure and private), wouldn’t you still prefer people needed a warrant or some form of document that had to go through the court before your messages could be read?
Obviously not. Think about supply and demand. Because a toxic product is being hailed as secure there isn’t enough demand for an actually anonymous and private messenger. So calling signal “secure” is just helping state security.
If you actually want to message about revolutionary (illegal, “terrorist”) activity and don’t want to be traced immediately by an agent of state security or an informant, Signal offers nothing (unless you use criminal activity like identity theft). In such a case a warrant will obviously be granted and they can immediately find and arrest you.
Can you see the logic how Signal isn’t secure at all for an actual dissident?

You’re confusing privacy with anonymity.

Why are you giving gestapo your phone number instead of your username?
Try to think a bit before you post
I think it’s quite a good question to be honest - you can keep your phone number private from all your signal contacts and has been able to since early 2024.

A regular captain of industry for whom the automatic searchers of his zero-privacy messenger is one step too far lol
