The defect he's searching for is a back door. Not gonna happen. Everyone, please use and support Signal, says the guy who has been getting people on Signal since Snowden rec'd it in 2015 (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/edward-snowden-favorite-security-tools,30507.html). I had to look it up.
The other tools in this recommendation: Tor OTR TAILS Qubes OS
I'll leave it to others to comment on the viability of the rest, and Signal has gotten an enormous 'signal boost' from Signalgate, so I'll count that as a win.
I've used QubesOS, Tails and Tor all extensively and they are all incredible. based on what I've seen, it's best not to use Tor on its own unless you're entirely sure of how you plan to use it - reason being that misconfiguring it can deanonymize you, so it's best to stick with Tails for sensitive Tor activities and the Tor Browser for less sensitive stuff - Tails forces the whole system to interface with the internet via the Tor network so you don't leak network traffic onto the clearnet when you're doing silly business.
also a little shout out to Orbot which is a Tor router app for Android that will allow you to connect your whole phone over the Tor network (or just a single app). This is huge especially if you're being censored in another country and want to use Signal or another app that doesn't support Tor already.
happy routing :D
