Throughout this page, the author fluidly shifts between conspiracy theories (that the CIA may be controlling Signal), opinions (that for a messaging platform to be good it must be self-hostable), and misdirection (NSLs exist, but it’s noteworthy that if you use a non-US company, the USG doesn’t need a warrant at all to compromise and extract data).
Moxie has been pretty clear about the problem Signal is trying to solve: radically upgrading the security of messaging for the masses. I’d say he’s clearly accomplished that: for the average human, migrating from SMS / email / etc to Signal or WhatsApp will immediately make their communications an order of magnitude more secure.
