Sejak semua nak berpindah ke Signal, saja nak share kenapa Signal dikatakan selamat, sampai Elon Musk pun recommend.

App Signal dianggap selamat sebab dia merupakan platform messaging berkonsepkan open source.

Apa itu open source?
Open source merupakan konsep yang mana sumber code (source code) software tersebut dibuka kepada public untuk semua orang tengok.

Jadi, kalau ada orang letak code yang berbahaya seperti malware, orang lain boleh tahu dan betulkan code tersebut.
Contoh open source software yang lain adalah seperti linux, unix, fedora dan android (selain dari manufacturer).

Cuma satu kelemahan open source adalah dia susah nak berkembang sebab bergantung kepada komuniti yang sukarela untuk maintain software tersebut.
Tidak seperti closed source software (whatsapp, facebook dll), open source software banyak percuma, jadi susah untuk developer untuk maintain open source software. Biasanya kita boleh support open source software dengan donation kepada developer.
