<h1>Signal has the decryption keys of their messages</h1>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The Signal legal terms<sup>3</sup> claims they have the
|
||||||
|
decryption keys:
|
||||||
|
<i>
|
||||||
|
"Additional technical information is stored on our servers,
|
||||||
|
including randomly generated authentication tokens, keys, push
|
||||||
|
tokens, and other material that is necessary to establish
|
||||||
|
calls and transmit messages. Signal limits this additional
|
||||||
|
technical information to the minimum required to operate the
|
||||||
|
Services."
|
||||||
|
</i>
|
||||||
|
It also says it would give info to the government and law
|
||||||
|
enforcement agencies:
|
||||||
|
<i>
|
||||||
|
Third Parties. We work with third parties to provide some of our
|
||||||
|
Services. For example, our Third-Party Providers send a
|
||||||
|
verification code to your phone number when you register for our
|
||||||
|
Services. These providers are bound by their Privacy Policies to
|
||||||
|
safeguard that information. If you use other Third-Party
|
||||||
|
Services like YouTube, Spotify, Giphy, etc. in connection with
|
||||||
|
our Services, their Terms and Privacy Policies govern your use
|
||||||
|
of those services.
|
||||||
|
</i>
|
||||||
|
Please note the "Services like youtube, spotify, giphy". Those
|
||||||
|
sites are in the Signal source code<sup>4</sup>, so they can spy
|
||||||
|
on you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, we have this:
|
||||||
|
<i>
|
||||||
|
Other instances where Signal may need to share your data
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request.
|
||||||
|
To enforce applicable Terms, including investigation of potential violations.
|
||||||
|
To detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.
|
||||||
|
To protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of Signal, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.
