Pretty cheesy of you to think I do not know what Firebase is. You should know better, then, what Firebase does, and that its implementation and calls are transparent and can be inspected too?
Why do you not inspect the intents and calls made to Firebase, since Signal is open source? If you can prove it, feel free to generate valid criticism instead of taking blindfolded shots.
This post is not valid criticism of Signal, as much as I have felt spited by Cloudflare use in Signal.
OP did mention trackers (look in the title of this post). But that title are wrong. So, so wrong. Firebase are not a tracker. I have only stated the fact that Signal uses Google and asked, “what did you expect?”
If I have given any missleading information, I am sorry. I had just woke up when I posted my 2 first replies here. Am more awake now ^^
Glad that I scrolled down and found a proper answer :)
You’re right. Google might track people using Signal this way, but it doesn’t mean they have access to information they don’t already have.
Your comment includes no proper answer and no content, only an ad hominem. If you make a claim, the burden of proof is on your side of the argument, not on the responders’.
Oh, I know what Google Firebase are. Maybe you don’t know what Firebase are?

Like I said, it is Google we’re talking about here. Nuff’ said.

Criticism goes like Genuine>none>blind
If Signal now are fully E2EE where nothing is logged, not even metadatas, then why do Signal use Firebase?

I can’t since I am only a web programmer. Instead, I gather information from valid sources and listen to what other people say.
So OP did not even mention trackers, yet label post as trackers, and take it as valid source? This is called confirmation bias engagement. :)

The burden of claim initially was on OP, not me. I am still the responder technically.
well then, we should wait for a good explanation ;)
OP did not affirm anything in his reply to his post. Enjoy the confusion lol
