The worst thing about Signal is that it was probably some some sort of CIA/NSA initiative. It could be a simple honeypot, or just a way to make users feel like they are not listened to: once the app is created, you have to insert some very subtle coding error, like heartbleed (a missing semicolon), if you can manage to hijack the computer of one of the signal team. I doubt that a benevolent team of developers can match the expertise of the NSA. Of course, most users don't really have to care about such security flaws since they're very advanced issues, and most users care about their privacy. Meanwhile, I honestly would like to voluntarily submit my interests so I can choose what ads I would like to see. Advertisers should do that.
