If USG is pushing for citizens to use Signal than it means it's a US honeypot only. lol

I prefer Threema over Signal, but I do not think the US government recommending an app means that they have it backdoored. The US government needs to protect its own communications as well and while the left hand may be thinking encryption is bad for law enforcement the right have is thinking encryption is good for national security.

So... I don't think there's some larger conspiracy, just the normal government dissonance.
