      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”

        No you’re thinking of telegram.

          So there is actually disinfo about it being funded by the CIA. I had heard it was, and tbh didn’t care too much. I figured they funded it because they used it and got value. It’s well audited so I trust it. Only learned it’s disinfo when I looked for a source to include in my original reply

        Do they think MMS is magically invisible?
