i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
The usual conspiracy theory is that Signal is funded by the CIA and therefore a honey pot.
Signal. I can do almost everything that i.e. WhatsApp or Telegram offer, is as easy to use as those and the client is verifiably encrypted and secure.
Explain what exactly? Why they should use it?
Please clarify the question.
the part of the "conspiracy theory" about CIA funding is completely true: signal proudly say they get funding from the OTF, which at the time signal started was a subsidiary of Radio Free Asia, which started out as an open CIA project (before being relaunched as clearly still a CIA project but without the official acknowledgement).
I'm 50:50 on whether signal is a literal honeypot, but even if not it seems pretty likely that the US government wouldn't have funded an app that could be used by people breaking its laws - let alone people actively organizing against it (foreign spies, domestic revolutionaries and insurrectionists) unless they were getting something pretty big in return.
In return they get an actually secure messing app they can use without having to support it themselves. Which is pretty big.
The epstein files have proven that conspiracy theories are true. Of course powerful gangsters conspire. We already knew that since forever.
So the Earth really is flat and run by lizard people?
Be careful with your wording. Yes, some conspiracy theories are true to some degree. But there's also ones that are complete bunk.
Ok, because the thing, that everybody knew turned out to be true, every conspiracy theory is valid now?
I guess you should go visit the Nazis in New Swabia and discuss this revelation with them.
