Signal just proven again that the feds cannot get any data.

I wonder how much longer until governments require corporations to Know Your Customer, especially if they offer crypto.
Afaik there was some shady stuff with Signal. Idk if it's even true, but I think that centralisation just sucks for privacy and just by having common sense this is an issue. I think that signal it's a pretty good alternative compared to Whatsapp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger or SMS (if someone uses that) . But I think that we need to move to a decentralized alternative.
