Basically the question raised here is that why would you not just use signal, I did not go through all the answers now, but the main and for me only reason for wanting Proton to have a Signal clone, is this: It will be Swiss owned and not USA owned. The location of main backbone servers etc. Now based on the Patriot act, Signal can be forced to allow access or switch off the system, like they did with the president of the ICC with his bank (ING) and his Email (Microsoft). The fact that Signal as only remaining real adopted free secure messenger, that does not sell your meta data, is located in the USA is a major downside. Maybe Proton can discuss with Signal a partnership to move the organization to Switzerland if Proton does not see a possibility to build their own system for all resources related issues and adoption issues.. I have been with proton since the very first beginning (I still have a free account somewhere with 2 passwords, a second one for decrypting the mailbox separately and free 1 GB of space) and this is the only real thing I have missed since the beginning.. I guess if this idea would be realized, the only left over next thing is a to build a secure Proton Linux Distro with all Proton functions included out of the box.. I would definitely pay for that (in a one time buy, not a subscription that is). I can see a future with all Microsoft and META and X engineers quitting their jobs and moving to Switzerland to Proton OS as devs.. There can be only one! (yeah that's a quote from Highlander)
