Even though Signal does seem like a step in the right direction, the fact that Signal is still a centralized platform makes it less trustworthy than say, Element. I must say this nonsense with the ad campaign isn't helping either.

Trust doesn't get easier when you are decentralized.
I rather like the idea of this ad campaign. If it shakes up a handful of people to be more aware of how much data is gathered and used against them, I consider that a win.
