    What security vulnerabilities does Signal have? I implore them to find a more secure messenger.

    Edit: Apparently they’re using Olvid. Claims to be the most secure messenger. Only the clients are open source, not the server code and they’re using a whole different algorithm. I seriously don’t understand why they don’t just partner with Signal, bet these guys don’t even have Signal’s level of quantum resistant encryption.

        Plus for the French Government it’s easier to twist arms in France than in Switzerland.

      Plot twist: maybe whatsapp, signal and telegram are harder to hack, maybe olvid has back doors that allows them snoop on each other 🤔

      (am only half joking 😉)

      I think that it has to do with GDPR. Signal has servers outside the jurisdiction of France or the EU. This app probably not.

      Not that I agree though. Signal would be a better option.
