… was this just someone taking the “smart-ass” joke a bit too far?

Yes!
Some other organs too, to a lesser extend.

And then the whole trillions of bacteria intellectual powerhouse (I’m mostly joking, but not absolutely completely joking).

… it’s much more people in jeopardy no now, countless ecosystems too.

Isn’t it open source?

Oh, you think that they show you the actual door? They don’t - ever.

In open source projects they indeed do show the backdoor. That’s is one of the key points of open source (along with free-ish terms of use). Closed source projects just say “there aren’t any” without showing anything.

I’ve said many times I’m critical of Signal & ready to switch, but backdoor seems unconfirmed. Even if probable on some level.

No worries, it’s not my main (or second) language either, it’s just that no backdoor is explained in that link.

I was just curious.

I don’t understand this & need some explanations (I’ve heard about the dev, it’s just USA stuff, much like Telegram mentioned Russian). Where exactly are the backdoors/the encryption compromised?

Yeah, no, I get & like that, I just somehow specifically (obviously mis-)remember that they did away with phone number as a prerequisite for creating an account (everything still the same, just that the account can’t be reset).

:(

So those posts they implemented this were lies?

Sad :(.

Afaik you don’t need a phone number for Signal (a “username” can substitute it, a few years back they added it).

(Also the phone number & IP was the security risk, not the messages, afaik.)

This however was a debate about a supposed backdoor (I otherwise agree about Signal & its USA basedness, I just remain glad it exists despite it manyfew blemishes).

Can you point it out so we can close it asap?

(Iirc it’s up to date?)

Thx!

(I’m critical of Signal, but “in this economy” is the best I can hope to switch my friends to.)

I hate how this is nostalgia now.

f7u12 really had me laughing.
(Or was it just me that still retained some capability to laugh at the time?)

Good times.
