Link to article from main Lemmy❤️ developer about Signal privacy. Mostly fair points. I kinda distrust so centralized services but basically we have no other options (Matrix is buggy in many aspects). What can you say about this article?

Errr…
WhatsApp was acquired by meta back in 2014.
2021 was when WhatsApp released updated terms of service that allowed them to connect to Facebook servers and share the data they needed/wanted to.
This article seems like the average low effort hit piece against signal that keeps on popping up.
I still think signal is the easiest messaging app out there for the average user to gain a little more privacy in their digital lives.
