Maybe we should be looking at the larger picture here this is exactly why Signal or any other privately owned centralized messaging system can never be trusted. Stop using Signal or WhatsApp.
Look at alternatives like Matrix that are immune to this sort of thing.
Not trying to be a jerk, I just don’t understand. If the government ordered matrix to put a backdoor into the code, couldn’t we just install a version that doesn’t have the backdoor? It’s open source, someone is bound to fork it. So then the government’s only option is to hunt down every matrix server in canada that doesn’t have a backdoor and persecute the owner, which would be time and cost intensive but I guess possible. So at that point could we not just host the servers outside of Canada? What do they do in that case?

The point flew over your head so hard. People already use and can look into matrix and that makes this still bad.
matrix is not immune to this lol
