Many people who focus on information security, including myself, have long considered Telegram suspicious and untrustworthy. Now, based on findings published by the investigative journalism outlet ISt

    Again, I just explained to you that the “largest open source app store” is an insecure mess and isn’t suited for apps like Signal. You don’t need to use Google Play, you can find the APK on GitHub, or the Signal website, together with the certificate fingerprint.

    makes me question their commitment to privacy and security.

    That doesn’t make sense. F-Droid neither secure nor trustworthy. Signal not being on F-Droid is a good security choice. I recommend reading through this thread.

      Signal devs accuse f-droid for not being secure, but do not offer any convincing arguments to back it up. Just saying it doesn’t make it so.

      F-Droid works. I have 20+ apps installed on my phone from F-Droid. I am not going to go back to installing apks from website or Google Play just so that I can use Signal.

        I linked you to a whole page of evidence, explaining the significant security issues in F-Droid before.

        Here’s that link again: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
