Musk once wrote “use signal.” Since I learned that I’m a bit paranoid about it.

Also it’s banned in Russia? There’s a reason.

Musk also said not to use Signal [1] - I wouldn't put any weight behind anything Elon says, right or wrong.

I should add, Signal and SimpleX are best in class when it comes to private messaging. If anyone says otherwise, please provide evidence.

Russia prefers services they can spy on.

If an E2E encrypted messenger is banned in a country, it is like a badge of honour I guess.
