          Oh, I know what Google Firebase are. Maybe you don’t know what Firebase are?

          “This includes things like analytics, authentication, databases, configuration, file storage, push messaging, and the list goes on. The services are hosted in the cloud, and scale with little to no effort on the part of the developer.” Source: https://medium.com/firebase-developers/what-is-firebase-the-complete-story-abridged-bcc730c5f2c0

          Like I said, it is Google we’re talking about here. Nuff’ said.

            Pretty cheesy of you to think I do not know what Firebase is. You should know better, then, what Firebase does, and that its implementation and calls are transparent and can be inspected too?

            Criticism goes like Genuine>none>blind

              If Signal now are fully E2EE where nothing is logged, not even metadatas, then why do Signal use Firebase?

                Why do you not inspect the intents and calls made to Firebase, since Signal is open source? If you can prove it, feel free to generate valid criticism instead of taking blindfolded shots.

                This post is not valid criticism of Signal, as much as I have felt spited by Cloudflare use in Signal.

                  I can’t since I am only a web programmer. Instead, I gather information from valid sources and listen to what other people say.
