It isn't at all. It is closed source powered by an American non-profit organization. You can consider this organization as friendly.

They recurrently said, they would shut the gates if U.S. government/law wants them to store more than metdata (phone number+last activity date) they are storing.

So noodlejetskis comment below is wrong?

Thanks for the info BTW, I'm an avid user and proponent of Signal (best out there today eh.)

@Valmond @SrMono Most popular out there and one of the easiest to set up / easiest to convince non-tech users to switch over to. Not the best... For me, that award would go to Matrix / Element.

Threema would be second (and should be first), but many will balk at the shocking fact that they dare to ask money to contribute to their development and operation costs...

What about SimpleX Chat? Comes without identifiers, is open source and not located in the US. Relay Servers are located in Germany, UK and Sweden and it's possible to host your own. Last audit was in 2024. No metadata is stored. Fundings are handled very transparently and presentated on the Website.

Not meaning to advertise it, just genuine interested in other peoples opinion.
