SucukIs it (still) worth trying to switch my family and friends from WhatsApp to Signal? (Read all of it, please.)
This may sound a bit dumb, but eh.... #signal
anon5621Can i ask why exactly signal?
Well, it's more privacy-focused, feels like home, and it's not hard to get used to and it's not a data-hungry company like Meta or Google. Also Other platforms i tested didn't really fit right with me.
Well,I am quite suspicious just about signal as company.And have some reasons for that.
- First. blacklistednews.com/…/how-cia-created-signal-mess…
- Second this is quite strange bug which was sending random photo sent random images from the gallery to the user’s contacts github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/10247
- Third they are betraying idea to free/open source signal.org/blog/keeping-spam-off-signal/
- Fourth Messenger Signal reported that it leaked phone numbers and confirmation codes of 1.9 thousand users. This happened due to the hacking of the Twilio database, which checks numbers. support.signal.org/hc/en-us/…/4850133017242
- Fifth From new president of Signal was required to remove the registration by phone number by users.But nothing happened community.signalusers.org/t/…/622?page=29 under reasons they are fighting with spam–
