Uh, no? I don't know who told you this lie, but https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Btw it wouldn't even matter, since the encryption happens in the client app. The server basically just passes around encrypted pieces of data between devices.

There are more than enough sources, just google "TikTok Chinese government influence". Just a few examples:

Also, just think about it: The CCP loves spreading propaganda. There's a massive social media platform controlled by China, which is used by young people in foreign adversary nations. Why wouldn't they leverage this platform to spread their lies and influence people? It's literally the perfect opportunity.
*allegedly
No one knows for sure, since WhatsApp is proprietary
TikTok is literally controlled directly by the Chinese government, which is officially considered a foreign adversary (for a good reason)
Unfortunately it's not
You can try uninstalling as much Google crap as possible using the Universal Android Debloater
Then perhaps use a firewall like NetGuard in whitelist mode, to only allow selected apps to access the internet
As an additional layer of security, you can use NextDNS with the No Google blocklist, and block all connections to Google servers in DNS. If you need to access specific things like YouTube, you can whitelist them.
True, didn't say that it didn't take me an eternity to set it up
Thanks, I'll try it out
Is it worth checking out? Any advantages/disadvantages over Kubernetes?
Interesting, never heard of it
That is the way to go
