I'm not gonna use Signal. It's just a honeypot for the CIA.

No you're thinking of telegram.

So there is actually disinfo about it being funded by the CIA. I had heard it was, and tbh didn't care too much. I figured they funded it because they used it and got value. It's well audited so I trust it. Only learned it's disinfo when I looked for a source to include in my original reply
