I find it weird how any discussion about #Signal will inevitably have a bunch of people piling on dismissing any criticisms of it. Believing that Signal is perfect has become like a religion at this point. Whatever people might think of Telegram is completely irrelevant when it comes to the question of whether Signal is actually a secure tool or not.

The fact that people working on Signal have direct ties to US intelligence agencies cannot be ignored. Nor can the fact that Signal is a centralized system based in US. These two things alone should make everybody very concerned.

Some people are so awed by the technical depth of security (e.g. double-ratchet) that they think this means the person is honest and trustworthy and further that they have the same security model that you do. I don't make that connection.
