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.

WTF Patreon
Is that an acceptable list of permissions just to verify my patreon name?
Read all my tweets including the private one, access my contacts, follow or unfollow people for me, write or delete tweets with my account... the list isn't even over! No, hell no!
Let's do a bad buzz here, shall we? Retweet this: (as patreon is obviously not on mastodon)
