That’s a hell of a lot of massively unsubstantiated claims and paranoia.
It’s end to end encrypted, that it’s hosted on AWS or who funded the project doesn’t matter. The encryption is open-source and auditable (and has been audited as well). It doesn’t even know who talks to who. For notifications, it’s decrypted locally on the device by Signal, and can be turned off. It’s also encrypted in transit on top of the E2E so only Signal servers can decrypt the little metadata there is, not everyone on the network.
And none of this is confidence inspiring about their own service. It’s 2024, how the fuck isn’t rebuilding their compromised server not a single command away, and why are they even attempting to fix it in the first place? Why do they even have access to the server at all?
Absolutely zero credibility. None.
