Hi, I wanna know what is the most secure and best messaging app/platform… Need an app that is crossplatform and has a very good numbers of features and security. (And it has to be FLOSS) I thought about XMPP clients, Signal, Session, IRC clients… Propose and explain me your choice
I think than Signal messages are mostly not backdoored but maybe all the profile picture, the name and the description are surely leaked to US gov if they found most of the servers
Signal has been subpoena’d multiple times by the US government to hand over all user data. Signal complied. The only data that Signal gave, because it’s the only data they themselves have access to, is the username, the unix timestamp of when the account was created, and the unix timestamp of when they last signed on.
That’s not how it works. All metadata is also E2EE with the same protocol. Even if they control all servers it wouldn’t change much.
