> There are many voices which try to tell you that signal is compromised.

But compromised by whom? Russian, US Intelligence? I am really confused.

I just looked quickly on on the Signal Foundation website and the board members, I read things like:

> Maher is a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and a security fellow at the Truman National Security Project.

> She is an appointed member of the U.S. Department of State's Foreign Affairs Policy Board

> She received her Bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies in 2005 from New York University's College of Arts and Science, after studying at the Arabic Language Institute of the American University in Cairo, Egypt, and Institut français d'études arabes de Damas (L'IFEAD) in Damascus, Syria.

Those type of people sound part of the intelligence world to me. What exactly are they doing on the board of Signal (an open source messaging app)?

> This is not a simple conversation.

I agree
