We build Signal in the open, with publicly available source code for our applications and servers. To keep Signal a free global communication service without spam, we must depart from our totally-open posture and develop one piece of the server in private: a system for detecting and disrupting spam campaigns. Unlike encryption protocols, which are designed to be provably secure even if everyone knows how they work, spam detection is an ongoing chore for which there is no concrete resolution and for which transparency is a major disadvantage.

    First useful comment here. Thanks.

    I suggest locking this thread, cleaning it. My Guild is here. People with objective and constructive criticism are welcome.

    I already predict that this will happen and requested multiple times to lock this because this is all off-topic and a vendetta against my in person, nothing more. The user simply wanted to smuggle his argument inside wrapped up Signal posts to make me look like a fool which is motivation, I speculate that this is someone from the arkenfox team in an alt account or someone who is a fanboy of them, which would explain the refusal of valid arguments.
