> Why like signal? Signal has no protections to avoid the same abuse as WhatsApp.

I think something like signal could reasonably have sufficient protections from both a technical and legislative perspective. And for that matter matrix too.

I was not intending to highlight signal as the only possibility, by like signal I guess I meant a small a capable organisation with a clear non profit agenda.

Signal is centralized by design. If they redesign it sure, it can be something that is not centralized by design, but the problem is then it is hardly an open standard, because it is entirely up to whoever is running Signal.
