Afaik there was some shady stuff with Signal. Idk if it's even true, but I think that centralisation just sucks for privacy and just by having common sense this is an issue. I think that signal it's a pretty good alternative compared to Whatsapp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger or SMS (if someone uses that) . But I think that we need to move to a decentralized alternative.
