Extremely competent, saying Signal is not private by design.

While very disingenuous, it’s not technically incorrect.

Signal is secure by design, and is extremely good at that with a very well designed and vetted cryptographic protocol.

Matrix is a poor choice from a cryptographic perspective. With some serious issues historically (some of which are still unfixed to this day), and an extremely poor response to disclosures.
