And? It could run on NSA servers and it shouldn't in theory much of a difference. (I would not use Signal if it ran on NSA servers).
The threat model assumes attackers have maximal control of the server environment.
Assume US AWS servers are NSA servers.
You get that it's the literal opposite, right? There are actual rules, whether you believe NSA follows them or not, about NSA interfering with US servers. Not only are there no rules applying to overseas servers, but interfering with those servers is literally NSA's chartered mission.
