    Well. What do you expect when you use a service that are based in USA, have closed their source code (or have they re-opened it again?), and are using mainly Google as server provider?

            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?

            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?

                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.

                  I can’t since I am only a web programmer. Instead, I gather information from valid sources and listen to what other people say.

              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’.
