Under Meredith Whittaker, Signal Is Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong
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.

My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp.My dudes, Telegram is not an e2e messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp. Telegram is more like Twitter.
