I hope this isn't true. Signal is in the ways that matter compromised by US national intelligence. They demand phone numbers to sign-up and though it's possible they can't read the messages they know who is talking to whom and that's far more interesting to intelligence and drone targeting.

Because with that you find someone using it who is a known member of Ansar Allah, you then find who they're talking to, those are also probable members or supporters of the movement and you find who those people are talking to and suddenly you have a network of people to drone strike along with their phone numbers which can be used with hacking of cell networks to reliably pin-point their location.

This is bad opsec and I almost think this whole press person added accidentally thing may be an op to get more people aware of Signal and on it as opposed to other platforms.

Not any messaging app funded by the NED's software funding arm, the Open Technology Fund:

Hmm, the lists include well-known tools like Tor and WireGuard ? I have no doubt about the nefarious nature of NED, but they seem to mainly support tools that allow them to spread their propaganda/regime change garbage. Surely they also support tools they cant manipulate/tap into ?

Keeping CIA agents safe from discovery is worth letting some people also encrypt their chats and browsing data. If anything, funding these tools prevents revolutionaries and anti-imperialists from adopting them.
