Just saw someone claim Signal was a honeypot the other day, no sources of course. Then this info comes out.

I hate this sentiment. I was part of a bachelor party, and we had a group chat going. Had Android/iPhone users, so it was just a MMS chat. I suggested we use signal, and one of the iPhone users goes on a rant

"I'm not gonna use Signal. It's just a honeypot for the CIA. Why else would they fund it if they didn't get any value out of. It's obviously a honey pot"
