The Internet needs Binary Transparency, like CT but for software packages. Until then, desktop clients provide the same E2EE assurance as browser clients. W/o auto updates the former are even riskier 'cause no way to fix bugs. W/ auto updates they are not better than the latter

I wonder how much of this is due to my model being “iOS app versus browser app” and Thai’s being “Electron desktop app vs browser app”. I won’t run desktop Signal, by way of example.

I agree it would be easier to do it the way you're envisioning, or more importantly, harder to get caught. I really think it would be crazy to not use a bugdoor though, so seems irrelevant. I like to use the Signal bug that could enable the microphone on any device as an example.
