What's odd about this is how their argument against signal works pretty well against simplex.

What do you mean exactly?
"Shady" founders of Signal - Moxie Marlinspike/ Brian Acton pale in comparison to SimpleX Village Global backers IMO.
Feds haven't launched a public investigation into Signal or demanded that it provide LI. They haven't done this with SimpleX either.
Check how much Signal leadership pays themselves, esp considering that they have no revenue model. What is LI?
Yes, it's all from donations/ "loans", with the biggest contributor being Acton himself (very deep pockets).
LI = legal intercept
You can never 100% trust any app and while I would probably rank both below briar if my life depended on it they should both be fine really.
