Signal Protocol — Open Source, Private, Encrypted Mobile Messaging App

Too Long; Didn't Read

Signal is a new Protocol and Mobile Communications App that is Fully Private and Encrypted unlike its counterparts such as WhatsApp and Facebook. Many tech titans such as Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey are advocating for Signal and for people to use more private protocols like these. This is not only because they are for freedom of speech and against cancel culture and deplatforming but also because these types of apps represent a threat to the current Big Tech Companies and their business models that fuel surveillance capitalism. Many large tech companies such as Facebook collect massive amounts of user data which they sell to unknown third parties in the attention, ad-tech driven and surveillance capitalist business model which they have built.
