Open Whisper Systems received about 3M USD total from the US government via the Open Technology Fund for the purpose of technology development … during 2013 to 2016. Source: archive of the OTF website: https://web.archive.org/web/20221015073552/https://www.opentech.fund/results/supported-projects/open-whisper-systems/

Who knows if there isn't some fundamental and simple flaw with some part of it that nobody is seeing. For what worth the all Snowden could be a major psy-op to make people believe that Signal is really secure and that there are no backdoors into it - after all the guy spends most of the time promoting Signal.

Where on that archive does it say the US government was the one that funded OWS? I don't see it.
