It does not meet open source. Still needing evidence: no trackers or telemetry, no ads or data sales, independent audit, transparency report, tells users about requests, message content deleted or redacted and EU data location. It is based in the Netherlands: Nine Eyes member; EU member (GDPR). Automated tests: SSL Labs grade A+ and Mozilla HTTP Observatory grade B+.",
