Exactly. These arguments are so weak that they read more like a smear campaign than an actual technical discussion.

"You have to agree to Apple's terms to use it"? What's Signal meant to do, jailbreak your phone before installing itself on it?

Moxie Marlinspike sounds like some 90s intelligence guy’s understanding of what an appealing name to hacker groups would sound like. Put a guy like that as so-called creator of some encryption protocol for messaging and promote the app like it’s for secret conversations and you think people won’t be suspicious? It screams honeypot like nothing else.
