Meanwhile CIA is promoting Signal. USA should sort itself out.
Does that mean the CIA can already break the encryption in Signal?
No.
FBI is actually promoting Signal and WhatsApp as well. Which should make people raise eyebrows and question if they don't already have access to both of those.
There's nothing to access from signal, the keys are local to each chat. WhatsApp another thing.
then they are questioning the other security properties of the app. safery of used encryption algorithm or its implementation, healthyness of having proprietary google code built into the app, etc
But if you have notifications , I know those were compromised.
Turn off notification details. That isnt signal it is Android/Google.
