@aboutsignal Signal relying on USA servers, maintain by an USA foundation, presided over by an USA resident. Yeah I guess?

I still like and use Signal, but how do you plan to operate in a fascist country?

@aboutsignal take photos within signal using the in-app camera. Never save to phone gallery. But, if signal hold phone numbers in their servers for 1 week = could be compromised for those listed over that week.

Or just just SimpleX Chat (take photos with in-app camera on this, too) & Briar (can only select photos from gallery.)

@aboutsignal
- Proprietary closed server instance
- Centralized
- On US servers
- Through US servers services
- Under US laws
- Still w/o user-owned private key(s) ?
- Still w/o encrypted contacts list ?
- Still w/o encrypted exchange history ?

What could go wrong ?

@aboutsignal Every European should do the same. While our leaders are constrained by dependence on the US, we as citizens have the freedom to take action.
