Everything is e2ee, so the server is a mere dumb conduit between senders and recipients. Heck, the server could be malicious or taken over by an adversary and neither security nor privacy would take much of a hit, if any at all.<br/><br/>#signal #aws #awsOutage 2025-10-21T15:20:56Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyvztejuxyrcerke9p0z2hnrweyc2069qzwhcelx46xj4kq4upasqzypyhxxg0g2fns35x9dvt7l466tfkrxadut3seftswfaqfspytg92vnlke6c If you’re a German citizen, do something!<br/><br/><a href="https://mastodon.world/@signalapp/115311121329278998">https://mastodon.world/@signalapp/115311121329278998</a><br/><br/>#chatcontrol #privacy 2025-10-05T01:23:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2hhg8vzj9hcezhdza7nn5gfl3yc3a42qygv0lmwjczg298k5s9ggzypyhxxg0g2fns35x9dvt7l466tfkrxadut3seftswfaqfspytg92vhcw990 Did you know Signal automatically strips EXIF metadata from every image you send?
