This is a good case for Signal being a honeypot, and why the government recommended it. I have a post about the CEO who appears to be a spook. And this post covers the Signal technology architect with a very bad history regarding privacy and spying. And the video below highlights how they won’t fix this bug that allows you to be significantly spied upon. Also remember the government and big tech doesn’t need to read your messages, as they specialize in deductions based on metadata, and this bug gives them a lot more data about you, your habits, location, patterns… Consequently, it’s funny that a lot of privacy advocates recommend Signal, as I never really trusted the platform as it wanted your phone number to identify you.
