The Signal Foundation is not a corporation.

But Signal Messenger, LLC is indeed a corporation, and it operates officially as a subsidiary of the Signal Foundation. The Signal protocol, as well as the official app, is developed by the LLC and not by the foundation.

In any event, there is plenty of room for a future enshittification of Signal. Is it less likely than many other entities? That's probably a fair statement. Is it impossible? Not in the least.
