    Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.

        You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.

        I use Signal to avoid government accountability.

        We are not the same.

        Well I use it and have put it on relatives phones so they can communicate with me easily, ideally though I’d use Threema but yeah signals a lot better than other free alternatives.

      The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.

        Isn’t hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.
