    I’m still convinced that Signal is an NSA honeypot.

      It’s actually way simpler than that. It was funded by the CIA for a long time because it was used to support insurgencies that the CIA was into. They pulled that a while back because Americans were getting into it, hence all the calls for donations in the past several years.

      Too bad I forgot where I heard this. May not be true, idk, who knows these days. But it makes sense.

        Yeah there was some Radio Free Asia money connection with the open whisper system that now is Signal.
