Yeah and since you have the possibility of dealing with state actors with deep pockets, you have to wonder if Android or iOS doesn't have the ability to copy your private keys and send those off somewhere for storage. Because of signal's popularity, it feels pretty possible to me.

If the NSA did have it backdoored somehow through the OS, it's a good bet they'd force LE agencies to use parallel construction to keep that information top secret.

That is why we really need open source hardware and OS's. A good (or even functional) open linux phone can't come fast enough.

If your adversary is state actors with deep pockets or the NSA, you've lost already. No amount of opsec cosplay is going to save you.

Your solution?

* Magical amulets?

* Fake your own death, move into a submarine?

* YOU’RE STILL GONNA BE MOSSAD’ED UPON

AOSP (Vanilla, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS) doesn't have this capability.

The Google Play Services app/package? Heh...
