    And then you use a centralized service by Google to redirect the link rather than just using the link itself. 🙁

    Matrix was developed by an Israeli company so hard pass on that. Signal looks like the best we got. https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

      What exactly is your concern? It’s a decentralized service, so it’s not as if any of your data has to be controlled by them to use it

        Onion is also decentralized, and everyone knows it’s monitored by the alphabet agencies. So yeah, I’d consider a hidden encryption vulnerability a solid possibility.
