    You can always look at their history “complying” to government orders to hand over user data.

    IIRC by US law they are not allowed to disclose requests from US gov itself

    so live tests seem about as good as a security audit.

    I would rather prefer real security audits

      I would also prefer a server in a jurisdiction that I choose as suitable for my needs. Or, better, a mini-computer on my balcony.

          Yeah, true - I have this installed but inactive for emergencies. It cannot, however, deliver messages when the recipient is offline, and I don’t know how much it drains the battery if left on. So not sure I’d use it as a daily messenger.
