I'm not finding how Signal is involved. Was the government involved with sniffing something in Signal, too? Or is Signal just another name thrown into the "only used by criminals" category?
France back in 2023 targeted Signal (discovered through a leaked memo) and it's service saying it wasn't secure to push ministers and others to French solution Olvid.
The same year French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said that he would like to force encrypted messaging services to introduce 'backdoors' to make them available to authorities. Mirroring the recent threat from Johanna Brousse toward GrapheneOS:
"These hitherto inviolate devices, which protect communications and which do not share data on servers, are a new challenge that the cyber prosecutor's office intends to take on"

In both cases it is likely realistically focused on pushing users to France based alternatives. In this case the EU funded murena /e/OS.

As I understand it, in a separate incident, the FBI implied that they had 'compromised' a signal network (99% certain they compromised an endpoint, person or phone, but wanted to FUD signal coz they hate it). gOS and signal being solid privacy respecting secure software is the connection.
They talk about it right at the beginning
My personal info dump: Signal was funded by Radio Free Asia, a CIA program
You claim "was funded" or "was founded"? Because funded means just that they sent some money. Could be to appear more legit or whatever the reason.
Massively funded
It's a claim you can verify on Wikipedia for example
I've tried just now, and I can't confirm any of your claims. Neither about "massively funded", nor about being funded at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia (no mentions of being funded by CIA, no mentions of Signal)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Foundation (no mentions of CIA, no mentions of Radio Free Asia)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software) (no mentions of CIA, no mentions of Radio Free Asia)
Radio Free Asia and other programs of Radio Liberty and such were lead by the propaganda agency called United States Agency for Global Media (which Trump recently defunded). It also supervised the Open Technology Fund (you can at the very least read on the wiki page of the OTF that it funded Signal). It is not a state secret that these are CIA programs. I can give you sources if needed when I'm at home. I'm pretty sure all of this was shown on their respective wikipedia pages but again, wikipedia is just an example for western and well accepted source
