The surveillance state always hurts dissidents most of all. We shouldn't neglect the importance of constraining its power.

    Please don’t use Signal, the US government has all the keys. Self host XMPP, Matrix and SimpleX servers and make sure encryption is properly configured. If you’re not generating your encryption keys, why should you use them?

      Source? And fyi, if you use Signal you are generating your own encryption keys. Your private keys are generated on your phone and stay on it. So what gives you the idea that

      the US government has all the keys

      ?? Sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory

        Plus, the signal client is open source. You can literally be 100% sure that your keys are being securely generated.

        Agreed. That’s a really bold claim to make without citing (credible) sources

        I think the best option is to communicate about alternatives. Maybe get a few close friends on each and then decide

      Source that confirms the US government has all the keys to decrypt all Signal chats?
