> As you can see from the way Parler was shutdown last week — when our imperial oligarchy wants to cancel an app, it can do so instantly and with a vengeance.

I was not under the impression that Parler was shut down by the government, but more by the "cancel crowd". Was it a government operation ?

As for the article, it seems the main arguments are that :

- Signal was financed by Radio Free Asia (US government propaganda operation), at least 3 million.

- If the crypto was effectively unbreakable, it would not be recommended by big companies like FB, Google, etc...

It's interesting and it's always good to be a bit paranoid, but the evidence is a bit thin for me.
