Granted, the part

The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store

is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

    the world would need a new client pushed and probably notice something was off.

    Not if the US have the support of Google.

          Because there will always people running Signal from a different source, and only one of them is sufficient to notice the server has been tampered with.

          (And I’m not sure if they have reproducible builds yet, but if they do, people can also verify that even the Google Play-provided APK does or doesn’t match the published source code.)

            notice the server has been tampered with.

            Which server?

            doesn’t match the published source code

            People don’t control their phone. There is no way of knowing if the installed app is the one that is running.
