> what can be done, at this point?

- Vote for a political party which creates laws to protect privacy

- Donate to companies like Signal, Noyb.eu, EFF who had success fighting for user privacy

I believe the parent comment is referring to user freedom, not really user privacy. Freedom isn't Signal's strong suit (e.g. strict stance on third party clients and incorporating bloat into their application like MobiCoin), something with federation like Matrix might be a better option.
