If you're going to say what is said under every submission about Signal you should I least mention that it is a choice they made and that they gave reasons why [1], whether you disagree with their arguments.

I am personnally glad that both options exist.

You can only trust E2EE if whoever controls the server does not also control the client. Otherwise they can just backdoor the client.

I wonder what'd happen if a three letter agency subpoena'd Signal and demanded Signal's app signing key so they can ship a backdoored update to a handful of targets.
