Signal is by far the most private/secure (& open/audited for those wanting proof). We collect no data about you & can't turn any over. Signal calls don't require text. A threat model where text (interlocutors) isn't trusted is valid, but this isn't a prob w Signal or its security

Microsoft’s Military AI Contracts and Democratic Power Concentration

MS–Open AI's ~parent company–already has massive US military contracts. This is the biz model. It's also one more alarm re. the current AI paradigm, its reliance on concentrated corp power, & the undemocratic decision making power this gives these (primarily) US-based corps. https://
