On November 16th, Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal, published a detailed breakdown of the popular encrypted messaging app’s running costs for the very first time. The unprecedented disclosure’s motivation was simple - the platform is rapidly running out of money, and in dire need of donations to stay afloat. Unmentioned by Whittaker, this budget shortfall results in large part due to the US intelligence community, which lavishly financed Signal’s creation and maintenance over several years, severing its support for the app.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

        Is matrix as full featured as signal? I trust signal regarding encryption. Should/ can I trust Matrix the same way>?

          Yes, encryption is it’s core concept. It’s why it’s actually so less user friendly in many aspects

      signal used to just be an encryption layer over SMS. it was awesome, you just had to verify keys in a second channel when starting to message someone new.
