Over the past days, two popular chat services have accused each other of having undisclosed government ties. According to Signal president Meredith Whittaker, Telegram is not only “notoriously insecure” but also “routinely cooperates with governments behind the scenes.” Telegram founder Pavel Durov, on the other hand, claims that “the US government spent $3M to build Signal’s encryption” and Signal’s current leaders are “activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad.”
I’m wondering if something interesting will fall off the truck this time :D
Context: before that blogpost, cellebrite claimed they can “hack” signal (or they were kinda closer to the truth, and that was media talking abt hacks without reading stuff)
Man, everyone is hopping on the Trash Signal Bandwagon, even though TG is less secure, and nobody (the 99%) uses Threema.
Don’t forget Threem encryption was broken. Threema is not free
It’s called disinformation and psychological warfare. How else attack E2EE, libre software?

Somebody posted it and made it a worthwhile discussion about Signal. GrapheneOS lied about it in same way on YouTube comment section last year.
