Even if you dont believe in sgx, the nsa would still have to be in signal's servers somehow, in which case you are probably screwed anyways
Edward Snowden is a public supporter and user of Signal. He's my canary in the coal mine. The moment the US three letter agencies get access to the data on Signal's servers, Snowden's dead. I feel comfortable in the resilience of their architecture as long as he's alive.
Do you think his location is some great mystery? The actual reason he is not dead is because there is no political will to conduct an operation on Russia soil to murder him.
Isn't Snowden alive because the US decided not to kill him? Doesn't sound like killing him is that hard
Nobody is coming to kill him. The scenario as a whole makes no sense when you think about it with even the most gentle level of scrutiny.

His only danger at this point is jail.

Yeah, even if you believe the usa is full on evil, extrajudicially murdering someone who was granted asylum in russia makes very little sense from a political perspective given america's position in the world.
This is an entire movie script you’ve made up in your mind. That isn’t how any of it works .
why anyways?

don't they say the chat is end to end encrypted?
