Is ‘Signal’ the new spying partner of US agencies?
- Signal was launched by now-defunct Open Whisper Systems (OWS) in 2013. It is the brain child of shadowy tech guru Matthew Rosenfeld aka ‘Moxie Marlinspike’.
- It’s clear though that at least $2,955,000 was provided by the Open Technology Fund (OTF) 2013-2016, and the organisation’s website refers to Signal being “originally developed with OTF funding.”
