Snowden recommended using Signal. I thought the encryption was public/private keys which makes hacking hard. Also its code is Open Source. That CIA may have help fund the initial startup does not mean CIA has a backdoor. It would be found the open source code.

Total non tech here, so open source is good right? As it’s not owned/controlled by alphabet agencies but does that not also mean more able to be hacked by one and all? I am someone who uses Signal but not sure now…..

Funded Wickr too. GoFundMe as CIA is cutting back funding. CIA probably uses Signal.
