Signal is safe enough depending on your threat model
If you worry about aws centralization and outages then signal isn't a good option
If your worried about sgx enclave exploitation then it's not a good match
If your worried about us intelligence monitoring traffic then it's not a good fit
So signal is fine for person to person western traffic
Not a good fit for a country needing isolated highly secure messaging... I.e. the french government should NOT use signal, centralized in America, sgx exploits are a concern, and exposing the social and communication graph to the us intelligence services isn't in the french national interest
What it I'm head of the Department of War and I want my war crimes to be secret? Asking for a friend
There's a custom app for that, that's based on Signal.
