    It’s annoying they say signal in the article title but not telemessage. The problem isn’t with signal. It’s with the Israeli owned telemessage.

      I don’t want to go all conspiracy theorist, but there seems to have been a serious push to villify Signal over the last year or so.

      Lol why am I not surprised to see Israel tied to problematic data security practices? They’re the good guys, right? They’d never do stuff like cellbrite and NSO. Ah shit, guess I’m antisemitic.
