Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
www.wired.comOn its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

That has nothing to do with the team behind it. Also it is the best tool right now even if it isn’t perfect. You just need to be aware of its limitations. (For the love of god turn off JavaScript)
I hate to break it to you but the internet itself was created by the US.
The team behind it very much does matter because you can infer the motivations from knowing who develops a particular piece of technology. However, my point was that the question with both Signal and Tor is what data they leak based on their technical design. That’s what people should be concerned with first and foremost.
Meanwhile, the internet was created by CERN https://home.cern/science/computing/where-web-was-born
