Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

    And you can confirm that as their code is open-source

    You cannot prove that the code they release is the same as the code being run on their server.

    What’s a National Security Letter?

      Yes you can prove the client! And for the server, you don’t need to prove it! They can run extremely malicious code and it wouldn’t change anything. That’s the whole idea behind zero-trust security. You only need to verify that the client is secure and encrypts everything.

      You shouldn’t talk about things so confidently if you don’t know the technical details of how it works.
