Opinions on Signal are quite different. Ever noted that signal.com/bigbrother is entirely empty between 2021 and current 2024? Generally quite empty there.

A user in a discussion about Signal / Tor claimed this:

"Now to Signal: Signal was created by CIA (not US army like Tor) and some guy that don't even give his real name. If CIA really wants a real Private and Secure app why not funded other Messenger that doesn't need any personal information like phone number. Second Signal was created when the US government and Alphabet bois wants to spy not only the citizen of American but the whole world. Third Signal never publicly announced or said to community that the one who funded and help to invent Signal is none other than the CIA and not even once Moxie mentioned that topic and everytime some ask about this subject he just ignore the question and move on."

Signal is centralized - keep that in mind. Who knows who really controls it. So whatwver you think about Signal, be aware that it might not be the shiny privacy solution you think it is.

Did the "user" who asserted this give his name?

(Some assert Bitcoin was also created by the CIA!🤔

Do you know that the CIA didn't invite the lead developer of Bitcoin to the CIA until almost 3 years after they "invented" it?)😂

BTW, the official story is Tor was invented by US Navy lab - not their army:

Interesting that the "user" didn't bother to mention that detail.🤔🙃

Copied the users message out of the Simplified Privacy SimpleX group some months ago - cannot remember a name. 🤷

I know this one is kinda extreme (and probably not the reality), what I tried to say though is that Signal is mostly idolized and should be questioned a bit more. With the users opinion being a possibility (even if a quite unlike one).

I am just trying to share different points of view. 😉
