    I think that the CIA would do that with very specific people, it’s not like it’s going to be wasting attacks at random, and that people should probably download the .apk from Signal’s website or use something more anonymous, like Briar.

        The creator of the Signal app also had an interesting appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast where even he had trouble going through airport security due to his role in the app’s creation.
