Do you think they won't do the same to my favorite apps?
CIA-funded outlet The Intercept here points out the CIA considers Signal software for terrorists and later recommended "highly-targeted individuals" use it (these are both endorsements to different audiences). Since e2ee software is viewed as a threat, how should we take the US govt singling out Signal for endorsement like this? Is the CIA being nice and helpful? https://web.archive.org/theintercept.com/2025/03/25/signal-chat-encryption-hegseth-cia/

The jury didn't say using Signal was evidence of terrorist activity, though. That's why it's alarmist to say the jury said that - because they didn't. At least, not to my knowledge?
