I convinced my wife to switch to Signal after a bunch of our Facebook Messenger comments got us targeted ads. It was pretty clear, we could just start a conversation about anything and end up with ads about that conversation.
It cleared up a lot of targeting we were both getting. She'd been complaining for ages that she was getting audio snooped too.
I had kind of have dismissed it because every time she would tell me about being surveilled, It would also be something she watched on TikTok or YouTube or saw on the news and I figured it was just her browser. She also complained about autocomplete having pretty strong precognition powers, But again you could tie it together pretty easily with previous searches.
Then one time, we're in the car. We had just been talking about going out for sushi We hadn't been for sushi in months. And she mentioned that she needed to take something back to a store way across town like 45 minutes away on the other side of the city.
She immediately ended up with an ad for a sushi place in that town.
Signal is open source, and it's been reviewed by umpteen million individual researchers. If it's CIA they did a really shitty job at making it monitor you.

Signal is CIA Proton too. And a bunch of VPNs are either CIA or Israeli intelligence
