_The Signal Foundation’s mission is to develop open source privacy technology that protects free expression and enables secure global communication._ vs _The left must vie for control over the algorithms, data, and infrastructure that shape our lives._ I don't think these two staments match very well. Caesar's wife and all that.... Edit: BTW, I wish her well too. I don't think that she's going to hinder Signal's crypto just serve to the left's interests, but she hasn't a clean record.

Fair ‘nuff, but the second quote was taken out of context, as the whole article was about “taking control,” in order to stop manipulation. She is quite left-leaning, though, so I could see why some folks would find her ideology grating. I believe that a fair number of right-leaning people also use Signal.

Control in this context is very clearly control by the users and communities as opposed to government and corporations. Rainbow capitalism isn't left and never has been.
