It's not on fdroid because fdroid compiles the apk again, which poses a security risk/vector for injecting code. Gab ain't on there because they are commies. Signal is open source. Anybody can inspect it and loads of devs have. It is probably the best option for secure comms for civilians. There is a way to update it from app directly. Also check session. Finally matrix/element. There are no absolutely secure comms on internet, especially if ClownsInAction or NSA are your nemesis. Keep it clean. Feed the roots, not the goons. It's like you're worrying whether you just bought the best exercise bike. Use what you got and what is available. Also know that anytime a service decides it wants to give them your data & comms, they can. The data is theirs, not yours. In U.S. at least. With Matrix you can host your own server so data is yours. That will be the future going forward. Federation. But even then the backdoors will still give goons access, but very tedious.

The internet was a millitary project, is the internet a honeypot?
I have read the related article (yasha.substack.com) and that's where I start to doubt the author , I remember hearing in multiple Tor dev talks about how it was government funded and still is, it's not something they ever omitted, the claims of it being useless in China is false.
Weak article, it reads like it was written with a conclusion in mind instead of being proper research.
