    Good luck setting up your own server and convincing everybody else to use that.

    Signal is not federated. It relies on a central server, meaning for all intends and purposes Signal controls the entire chain.

      End to end encrypted, I think chat control is all about client-side scanning so the app being open source is a big deal and would prevent client-side scanning because even if they build in client-side scanning, it’s open source and people can remove it.
