   "if you need a tool to communicate privately with your friends and family–even if your chats are boring, mundane, and totally legal–#Signal is the best damn choice I can recommend."

   is the conclusion after 6 parts of detailed and well explained code review that starts at https://soatok.blog/2025/02/18/reviewing-the-cryptography-used-by-signal/ by @soatok

   (Yes, I read all 6 parts. No, I don't claim to understand more than the basics of cryptography, which is why yes, I have to and do trust the author on their conclusions)

     @jwildeboer @soatok
     European #antifascist recommending to use a service running in a fascist-turning country on servers owned by a fascist-friendly billionaire? This is weird.

     Focusing solely on the E2EE misses a lot of points, one of those being that with #signal one of the ends has to be an Android or iOS ~spyphone~ smartphone, which is not really something you can have 100% trust into IMHO.

     You can't trust such demon rectangles *at all*.
