1321: Doctored Evidence

Open Technology Fund (OTF), Signal App Origins

The Open Technology Fund (OTF) is a US government-funded organization that advocates for internet freedom and funded the technology behind the Signal app. A PBS report detailed how the Trump administration, through Michael Pack, withheld funding from the group. The hosts suggest the OTF may be a "shady operation" or an intelligence front, given its high budget and small staff.
