 Signal chief of board of directors advocates for censorship. 

Signal’s mission is “speak freely”.

This is what I would call signal sending mixed signals.

'The rightwing activist and propaganda guru Chris Rufo helmed the crusade...

Every effective smear campaign takes a grain of truth, then coats it in layers of innuendo...'
