You should always assume that US/european corporate protections are backdoored, now MS, a couple days ago we knew about whatsapp, and I would also include all corporate “secure or encrypted” promises, so I would warn against signal, proton, and the likes. This is the work of NSA, providing a “secure” platforms and push it everywhere to get adopted, providing false sense of security, while depreciating the none bugged ones, few weeks ago verascript developer -Mounir Idrassi- complained about having their account blocked, same with wireguard facing similar issues, and if you find it hard to believe, GPG author -Zimmerman- was harassed by the gov because he wrote the encryption and encryption was considered munition, so he was exporting munition!
