Combining dragnet surveillance with device hacking is intended in the design of both tools. Hence, State Department-funded Signal dupes you into handing over your identity as part of the population-centric mapping. In custody, your phone will be hacked when it is taken away if it’s important.

    It’s not a company it’s a nonprofit foundation. And they’ve been audited many times by independent auditors.
