> Can you find any criticism of Signal on the internet by any serious privacy advocate?

Yep, I've had many discussions with privacy people about it, and most seemed very much down to earth about it. Only half-jokingly: It's kinda obvious that they are funded by the CIA and that the NSA doesn't care about e2e because they have root on every phone if they want.

Do you really believe in that? I ask humbly because I don't know if I should. If they do have root on every phone why should we care about anything at all? Or maybe if we at least used something other than their central server that would at least make their lives harder.

Yes, I think it's safer to assume that the NSA has a 0-day for every phone than not.

> why should we care

You can't protect against the NSA. But you can protect against the telecom company, the messenger company, and whoever else could have access to the data.

I agree
