"Signal is a honeypot, use X Chat instead!"
The people who say this are the same people who see clickbait headlines like "hackers target Signal" and assume the encryption got cracked. It didn't, and it never has.

Signal is open source, and independently audited. No one, including Signal, can read your messages, because they're end-to-end encrypted, just like your Proton Mail emails (between Proton Mail users), or your Proton Drive files.
It's impossible for Signal to decrypt your chats; and the same goes for us with your emails and files.

For the emails that actually matter (medical, legal, financial), keep them somewhere that can't scan them in the first place.
Proton Mail is E2EE, so no one can read your inbox, not even us.

Here's the catch with all of this.
Settings get reset. Re-prompted. Quietly changed in the next update. You're opting out of a system that's designed to be on.
So make sure that you periodically check to ensure theyโre off.
