On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.
Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging; It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
- Thread starter Analogous
- Start date
so I installed Signal just for that 1 person and Its still 1 after 4 months
The significance of the phrase “ Surveillance capitalism” can not be under estimated.
As we are lost in the “free” services like Watsapp, FB etc take a moment to ponder on how and why this is free.
Users are the commodity. User data (despite claims of anonymising) is used and sold for relentless marketing of products and to influence opinion on a massive scale (eg: elections)
Politicians love such companies for obvious reasons. (Recent Elton Must (X) costing up to Trump)
Protecting our data privacy from techno oligarchs seems to be a critical public imperative as we move into a uncertain technological future.
Signal is a refreshing approach that runs counter to the widely accepted “everyone is greedy and selfish” doctrine.
I have no doubt governments will ban or interfere with Signal once significant number of users start using this “not for profit “ App. Of course it will be done using national security and public good as an excuse
