This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.
However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.
Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
