> Signal was developed by Open Whisper Systems, a for-profit corporation run by “Moxie Marlinspike,” - OWS was disolved for one. Signal is now developed by the "Signal Foundation" which is a registered 501(c)(3)non-profit. - Brian Acton (ex-WhatsApp) paid $50m startup money also > Moxie began partnering with America’s soft-power regime change apparatus — including the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (now called the U.S. Agency for Global Media) - So what. The Senate has literally approved Signal for use as a means of communication. - The US Govt. is not unified by any stretch of the imagination, there are plenty of competing interests.

The NSA etc doesn't need to "buy" apps in this manner anyway. They just go to the manufacturer of the devices/chips/components, throw them a National Security Letter and get ring-0 exploits (or hack their way in).
