Musk once wrote “use signal.” Since I learned that I’m a bit paranoid about it.
Also it’s banned in Russia? There’s a reason.
Musk also said not to use Signal [1] - I wouldn't put any weight behind anything Elon says, right or wrong.

Russia prefers services they can spy on.
If an E2E encrypted messenger is banned in a country, it is like a badge of honour I guess.
