The code is open source, people look at the code, I’ve dug through their code a fair bit. It wouldnt be quiet, and it would take major code rewrites, it would be pretty obvious

But again, if there were 3 letter agencies and gag orders involved with Signal, they probably wouldn’t give regular law enforcement or courts any of the data they have.
Really, my only problem is that with a centralized service, there’s no way to ever know for sure. There’s luckily no evidence of anything nefarious happening at least.

Okay, so if you’ve dug through it a fair bit, you’re probably more familiar than I am. How do they prove conclusively that the server software running on their servers is from the exact source that’s publicly visible and not a patched version?

Yeah, on an ideal world, the matrix spec would be fixed and everyone would be on that.

In an ideal world we also wouldn’t have to worry about communications being listened in on lol
