"The US has an interesting law that applies to any US company operating within its borders: it is illegal to tell your users that the the US government has asked your company to spy on their behalf. This is called a key disclosure law, and the US’s version of it, called National Security Letters, underwent an expansion with the PATRIOT act; by 2013, President Obama’s Intelligence Review Group reported issuing on average, nearly 60 NSLs every day.
Companies that don’t comply with this law, such as Lavabit, are forced to shut themselves down in protest, in order to avoid prison time, or remain open, and funnel user communications to the US government. The Signal foundation is a US domiciled company, and must comply with this law.
Signal also notably isn’t self-hostable: there’s no way to run your own signal server, and control your data. Marlinspike ruthlessly shuts down anyone attempting to build alternate clients or servers that could communicate with the main one. 2
This means that all of Signal’s data is centralized and controlled by a single entity: a giant and easy target for US surveillance."
