If the goal is to protect yourself from the NSA, switching from WhatsApp to signal is not going to change things.

Signal could well be a honey pot software designed to attract people who don't want to be listened to by the NSA.

I agree that signal is secure and oriented towards privacy, two different things.

I believe you're talking about a hypothetical but are you saying that the E2E crypto in Signal is flawed and therefore useful as a NSA honeypot?

We've seen from previous subpoena that Signal really only does retain the limited data they claimed and the content is auditably correctly encrypted.
