On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.
Not OP
There’s not a lot of negative press about them.
They complied with Swiss government requests to out the IP of a French activist.
It looks like they’re really doing the best they can.
Correct. They comply with court orders, its a business. People still need to be secure in how they use it, which that guy wasnt. So if you’re attempting to evade the government, use a vpn. All your data is encrypted, where you access it from and your billing information cannot be.
Do keep in mind proton also runs a VPN he may have been running their VPN and they complied.
If he was using their VPN, they wouldn’t have been able to turn that over according to their own site: https://protonvpn.com/features/no-logs-policy#:~:text=No-logs VPN,lengths%2C or location.
They do have technical capability to do so. I just thing that is stopping then is “our trust”
They do have the capability to not have the data requested. If they are not required by law(and it seems they aren’t), why store any data? They may have to provide data of the sessions that are active right now but it’s unlikely.

I don’t trust ANYONE to decide on my behalf what a “bad usage” is.
