    That article and sources are bollocks. They received donations in the past, from there the claim is that they are entirely compromised. There's a list of almost a hundred other apps and services, from fdroid to let's encrypt. Are they also compromised?

    Fear mongering and tinfoil

    The truth is in between.

    The CIA funded Signal to be a truly secure and open source messaging platform for overseas dissidents to use, wherein they could support their efforts, while pursuing US political objectives.

    Eventually, people in the US started to use it to evade oppression, and the CIA went "NO!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!"

    Regardless, the proven facts of the matter are that the CIA funded Signal.
