I have heard this before but haven’t been able to confirm it. If they do have a back door, they’ve been doing a good job of keeping it under wraps. I’m not tech savvy enough to really know but if signal is open source and nobody has found a back door, then that’s a good thing, right?

I know the govt can access your signal messages if they compromise your phone but that’s not really unexpected.
