😁
On my phone LineageOS is installed and their build process is completely open. BUT! This does not negate the fact that my messages end up on another person’s iPhone and this ± black box can transmit data to Signal servers, f.e. using notifications functionality.
Once again, I don’t think that’s really the case. The reputation risks are too high to listen to the messages of some random son and mother. And it would also be possible to detect this using traffic analysis (if someone done this). But. Posibillity is there 😄
With that logic, you’d have to go completely off-grid and not use any kind of messenger.
With Apples CSAM scanning and similar features that could be introduced in any OS we’re using, no messaging app is really safe from spying eyes.
You can install your own precompiled Android, make shure the reciever does aswell, host an end-to-end encypted messaging server on your own and you are set. Maybe use thor browser aswell, but that shouldnt be necessary
