@ambiguous_yelp @joelanman This is false and outright FUD. Signal was not "nearly backdoored". Their position has always been that if UK or anyone tried to mandate backdoors they'd be treated like any other rogue state needing circumvention. Centralization is only minimally relevant because the central servers have no access to any information beyond minimal metadata. Any attempt to subvert would have to be via shipping malicious clients, and the clients are all open source and under heavy scrutiny, and there's no mandate to update client until long after there's been time to review/inspect new version.
