A very good, extensive and interesting read on cryptography, centered around Signal (my daily driver), from the same guy who has previously analyzed Telegram and Session.

They have no data of you to share with the FBI. No list of your contacts, no list of your groups, no data of stickers you use, basically nothing. That's what's great about Signal.

I suggest that you read their transparency reports to see what I mean. They share redacted version of their communications with the govts: https://signal.org/bigbrother/santa-clara-county/
