Signal not only has no desire, but also has no need, to take any interest in what you’re saying, or whom you’re saying it to. …which means that there’s a much more compelling reason to believe the organisation when it claims to have an unbending focus on end-to-end encryption.
Sharing information about you with third parties isn’t part of Signal’s business model, so there’s actually no point in it figuring out how to do so… Signal is a US-registered non-profit organisation that was founded entirely around making and supporting the messaging app.Īs a result, Signal’s big selling point is, well, that it isn’t selling anything. WhatsApp belongs to Facebook, Skype is part of Microsoft, and iMessage is owned by Apple, but the open-source app Signal belongs, inasmuch as it belongs to anyone, to Signal. That difference – or at least its major difference – is simple: it’s not owned and operated by an industry behemoth. Signal is a popular instant messaging (IM) app with a difference. (In fact, as this article explains below, you can’t.) This article is not a “howto” list of tricks for skipping any of the steps in Signal’s official account setup process, such as deliberately bypassing the part where you have to put in a phone number.
