So Signal is better than WhatsApp in terms of privacy. What I don't know is the implications of using Google push.https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/745680445162020868 …

@Hattie_T_Cat@motters I don't think that's true. I think all Google/Apple can access is timestamps, no user metadata.@whispersystems?

@micahflee Correct. GCM is just an empty notification for the app to wake up and connect. It's not a metadata leak. @Hattie_T_Cat @motters

@whispersystems@micahflee@motters Thanks. Need to investigate in more detail myself. -
@Hattie_T_Cat@whispersystems@micahflee@motters Currently only runs on devices w/ metadata collecting Google stack, or broken security tho -
@dlmetcalf@micahflee@motters@whispersystems Understand the practicality of Google but sad I can't install it on a gapps-free device. -
@Hattie_T_Cat@micahflee@motters@whispersystems Let's hope a high quality PR can come together in Signal (proper) for websocket cxns. -
@micahflee@Hattie_T_Cat@motters@whispersystems Yes,@moxie is open to it happening.

@whispersystems@micahflee@Hattie_T_Cat@motters still a problem that you need to give Google control over your device -
@whispersystems@micahflee@Hattie_T_Cat@motters interesting. did not know! thanks for explaining. still wish there was signal on#fdroid.
