Boots need shining, and Dessalines is positively salivating at the thought
This sounds like a unjustified callout and a bit of an ad hominem. He doesn’t argue against tools for dissent, but specifically against Signal and recommends matrix. link to post
Any communication tool that requires you to personally identify yourself through a phone number and is hosted centrally in the US is not good for dissidents.
He doesn’t argue against tools for dissent,
He says it’s a ‘smart move’ for the totalitarian countries he simps for to ban signal. It’s not just a question of preference.
Signal was already made to hand over all the data they stored for one account at least in the US, here is a video describing how that went: https://youtu.be/3oPeIbpA5x8
Tell me though, which company will not hand over what data they have when asked by their country’s judiciary?
The question here is how much data they keep. Strict legal minimum or more.
You obviously didn’t watch the video, the point made is not that there is information being handed over (every company has to comply with legal orders), but that Singal handed over nothing except 2 timestamps shared as integers.
