This argument applies to any messenger app that claims e2e encryption. You could build signal from source. But how much do you trust your compiler?

I trust my compiler more than Facebook
For any value of “compiler.”
Can you actually use Signal built from source with official servers? Anyways, we have open-source chat platforms that have been audited by independent third parties, on one side, and closed-source mergacorporations' unaudited chat software on the other. Point being, why would you argue for using the bigger "evil"?
