    Server builds are replicable. So it’s not a problem beig hosted on AWS. Don’t spread misinformation. Sealed sender reduces metadata, so Signal along with Session are the two IMs that share the least metadata.

      You’re neglecting the elephant in the room. AWS is an Amazon service. Even if you can fully trust the sealed sender mechanism, you certainly cannot stop OWS from paying money to Amazon.

      Amazon is a notorious privacy abuser who has pushed surveillance into homes and neighborhoods by way of Alexa and Ring. Amazon has made an astronomical investment in facial recognition technology that’s used to abuse the privacy of countless people globally.

      When you feed a vendor or service that feeds Amazon (e.g. Open Whisper Systems “Signal”), you are contributing to privacy abuse.
