Yeah idk I’ve read it like 4 times and still struggle to find a coherent thought here.
Poster was made fun of in the past for saying Signal gave metadata to the feds. He has a learning disability (regarded = deliberately misspelled R slur). They’re looking for someone else to corroborate the metadata claim.
That’s my interpretation at least.
They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.
It's in the public record as well if I'm not mistaken.
They probably have turned over logs because legal persuasion, and it sounds like they anticipated that. Moxie has been around the cypherpunk scene for a while, so they knew what they’re doing.
Plus the paper on the double ratchet algorithm is out there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm
"Retarded" is not a slur. It's a medical term. "Idiot" is a slur that roughly means the same thing, though not nearly as far.
"idiot", "moron", "cretin" and "imbecile" were all medical terms once and described different levels of intellectual disability, but they fell out of use and are now considered offensive. language changes, and context is important.
Signal uses Google Cloud Platform for their servers, for one.
Then I think it’s something to do with metadata.
In the future please be sure to get your opinions approved by the comment thread captain before sharing them publicly.
You made a post in an open, public forum and you’re confused why others would like to discuss the things that you posted?
(almost) anything is possible with a CIA black fund budget. I've moved to Simplex chat and not looked back.
Why? Just stay on Signal. For the time being it is one of the leaders in private communication.
Though, if you truly need secure private conversations, you would want to move around a lot anyway.
