Your claim about it being a honey pot is entirely baseless. There is a significantly better chance you are working for the US to prevent people from using signal...

Yes because the US does not want you useing a central server in its jurisdiction so it can force the organistation to give out all the meta data while not being alowed to alert anyone. How dare you use something that could give the US so much information in one easy package

You clearly have no clue how the internet or signal works. There is no information on signal servers that arent already available through the telcos, litterally zero

Did I say the prefrence was to use normal telecomunication providers? or that the internet in general where super secure, no, but Signal is not secure either, and it in all likelyhood a honey pot

There is no reason to assume that based on the fact that they do not posess any information on their servers that would not be available to authorities anyway. You are making up nonesense based on your own delusions.
