@pglpm @euronews the post was about consulting with the industrial professional(s), especially with one who's a pioneer of privacy protection.
While general referendum is a good thing the generall masses aren't always knowledgeable about legal and technical details; you're talking about people using Viber and Facebook Messenger.

USA, China was mentioned because they would like to have the opposite the EU is striving for: less privacy, more state control.

@kkarhan @euronews @fdroidorg You are asking why ServiceA is not ServiceB instead.
Why a centralised service is not decentralised? Why a service chosen phone numbers as external verification doesn't do it differently?
If you dislike Signal, use something else, don't try to tell them to change their service. You may make suggestions, but demands aren't the way it's working.

@kkarhan @euronews @fdroidorg Nobody demands you to trust anyone. Signal in particular does not want you to trust them. People trust them due to their history and work, you are free to ignore that.

@kkarhan @euronews @fdroidorg I respect your conspiration theories, but I think far whatever, be that left of right, is counterproductive.
People know the algorithm, people know the metadata leaks, and (at least professionals) can judge whether to trust the known facts. You may chose to base your opinion on unknown factors and preceivements, that's your choice, but I cannot help you in that.

@pglpm @euronews I'm not sure how many referendum was run in recent times, I believe they are very costly so that may also explain their lack of posting.
I support your point, though, and I suggest you to contact your MEP and look into their eyes and say "people need that". If you need my "meetoo" just ask.
