in his interview with Tucker Carlson
... and providing no evidence whatsoever other than it's obvious to him.
Honestly? Fuck you for posting this and spreading misinformation

On top of that it's an X link, it's almost like OP is purposely trolling us with misinformation using links from a misinformation generator.
No proof = scaremongering
Yes, Signal is not perfect, but I have no reason to believe that they are in any way compromised.
How private are our supposedly private communications, and who ultimately has the ability to access them?
That's what open source and encryption are for
no reason to believe that they are in any way compromised.
Having some familiarity with Signal, I have very few ideas on even theoretically how it would be "compromised".
Edit: and if this were a very different thread on the right instance, I'd be interested in swapping around ideas. But not here
The common claim is the simple fact that it's hosted on AWS infrastructure. Of course no one has any evidence for that either.

The Signal client uses AES, so this is no reason to stop using Signal. But it's still true that Signal is hosted on AWS.
Open source and encryption don't mean 0 days don't exist.
Kimdotcom and Tucker Carlson, two beacons of truth. /s
This is a disturbing warning from Kim Dotcom
It's disturbing anyone should be listening to this fraud of a man. Receipts first. Then we can listen.
The more people say we should stop using Signal without evidence, the more sure I am that using Signal is a good choice.
And since some of those same people are Tucker Carlson fans, just LOL.
I'll keep using unbreakable encryption, thanks.
I assume they mean compromised by apps that are installed on one or more devices that can access the keys to the conversations or even cracked versions of Signal itself planted during mostly illegal searches.
That's not Signal being compromised, that's the phone and is true of all apps running on compromisable phones. If not, I'd love to see the problem and they can point to the place in the app code where it exists since it would have to be the app and it's open source. The server doesn't have the keys for the messages. Unless they're saying a standard encryption algorithm has a backdoor. Governments have been attempting that for decades, and I wouldn't be surprised, but also not just affecting Signal since these are standards. And this should be especially shown as it could affect everything from banking to corporate VPNs and any backdoor is available to black hat hackers as well as government. Anything else is scaremongering from sources that are well known for doing just that and not afraid of outright lying, or "alternative facts", not just manipulating actual facts for their purposes, which they also do on a regular basis.
Signal is not private since metadata is required for routing and reducing spam and falsifying identity. It's a compromise of all e2ee messaging apps. And unavoidable without significant inconvenience in routing and no control over spammers/scammers, or 100% trust in the middleman servers.
But it is secure unless evidence is given and it would be super easy to provide evidence since all encryption and decryption happens on devices and no keys are shared to the server by the apps themselves as shown by said code.
"Kim Dotcom said it" holds about as much weight to me as it being said by my postperson tbh.
Two clowns mentally masturbating each other.
Fine addition to the nauseating content of x.com.
