Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

    I disagree with a lot of things in this message, a server will always know who communicates with whom and when, because it needs to deliver these messages.

    We know that Pegasus can infect any device without anyone really noticing and fully taking over. No message service could ever get around that meaning that as long as you use a phone you could always be the target of surveilance.

    That means there is an inheritated problem with privacy on phones because no matter what a app will never be safe.

    End to end encryption just ensures that there wont be a party constantly monitoring all data and enable mass surveilance.

    In theory they infected everyone with Pegasus send the traffic somewhere whwre they could analyze that traffic.
