Good summary of several red-flags in regards to using the Signal messenger.
Also interesting is this one.
Use a locally hosted XMPP with the Conversations client :)

That Switzerland is super privacy secure is sadly a myth these days, and it is not without precedence (look up “Crypto AG”) that a Swiss company and the Swiss & German intelligence agencies were cooperating with the US intelligence agencies for decades.
Anyways, I do use Threema since their clients became open source. It is an ok choice, but in no way any better than XMPP.
No one has a perfect track record. However, you’d have to give me more than one example beyond a company that was secretly acquired by the CIA to do that, and that is based in Switzerland. Broadly speaking, I’d rather my data stay in Switzerland than in any other 14 eyes country. Hell, I would even trust the Russians more to store my data than most American companies.
