Is Signal still safe?



This comment is absurd. Your linked article even says:

> To be clear: the reason for this is not security. To the best of my knowledge, the Signal protocol is cryptographically sound, and your communications should still be secure. The reason has much more to do with the way the project is run, the focus and certain dependencies of the official (Android) Signal app, as well as the future of the Internet, and what future we would like to build and live in.

Beyond the author flat out saying that it’s secure- the title of the article is why they will not recommend it. It has nothing to do with it being compromised.


We are not talking about the protocol and simple one to one chats, we are talking about the app. They are several major weaknesses in Signal which have nothing to do with the protocol.
