good points. only one think is bothering me and that is EFF, by my opinion they are like a wolf in the sheep skin. Yes they acting in the favor of more private, secure and "better" web, but if you just look who is backing up the organization, who are the board members, then its clear that its a shady band (good example with fb and analytica scandal). im sorry but im applying zero trust policy even for them, even if i like the work what the whole EFF doing. this is just my personal view on the matter.

edit: they suggesting Signal to use, so fck eff particularry

Yeah, you always find something to criticize if you want to. However, they also often update statements and criticism. I am not going to defend them on Signal because I also dislike it, but sure as hell it is better than what most people use WhatsApp, Facebook etc.

Still upvote you because it is your opinion, which seems legitimate and has some points that I also think could be improved from EFFs end.

yes, correct. you can be like that, it was not an intention now, eff is big platform with huge impact. there is no point to criticize some/something if it is meaningless. respect for your efforts with badger. i hope it will not turn dark and evil on the end all with eff.
