Ich wüsste ja wirklich gerne, wie hoch die Spenden aus der deutschen Politik an die Signal Foundation ausgefallen sind. Wenn das offenbar ein zentral genutzter Messenger ist.

(Also, ich kann mir schon gut vorstellen, dass da gespendet wird. Aber es könnte auch anders sein. Erfahren tut man es ja vermutlich nur, wenn einzelne ein Spendenabzeichen haben ...)

Daniel Guagnin schreibt in diesem Gastbreitrag über digitale Mündigkeit, den Einfluss von Technik auf soziale Strukturen und die Relevanz von technischer Transparenz. #Opensource 😉
Das Ganze illustriert Daniel am Beispiel von Whatsapp vs. Signal und ruft dazu auf, über die Herrschaft von Technologie zu streiten.

@mycorrhiza I did not know that about this author & that's bad news to hear.

Unfortunately, it does not change the fact that the current #SignalFoundation board chair Katherine Maher is out on a censorship campaign against freedom of speech. It's dangerous having a person with her background in a position like that -- what would happen if Signal Messenger decided to censor certain users? Would it influence tour decision to use it?

#SignalMessenger continues to move along a #dark path.

First they integrated a #ShitCoin behind the back's of their users, which is a major issue regarding #Trust. If you were not aware of this, here is a great video overview by #TheHatedOne

They still require a phone number to use their platform - like HELLO? Seriously?

And more recently we have more #Censorship lined up via the #SignalFoundation

Why are people still relying on this application??? ^_^
