No, what I'm saying is that if Wire still sends the passwords for the encryption in plaintext to their servers, thats bad. Signal doesn't do that afaik.
I agree that would be a weird thing to do, is there a source for this?
Definitely search on your own, I was only going based off this. Could be fixed by now!
But if it was ever true, that's again, bad. Not something you would even think of doing if your true motives are "privacy"
Yeah that's pretty bad, and I agree that I wouldn't trust a company that did something like that going forward.
