   Whatsapp, like Facebook, is owned by Zuckerberg's Meta.
   Signal is owned by the Signal Foundation. And it's more secure. We have a choice.

     We already use Signal at Common Futures, because it's more secure. And I'm quite surprised about how many of my contacts already have it, although WhatsApp is more frequently used.

     @Sustainable2050 Signal Foundation will protect your data as well as Telegram is doing now

     What do you need a 50 million dollar a year organization to run a centralized service that requires you to tie your phone number to it

     You could just use XMPP, and they could invest that money into developing better XMPP clients and abstracting their features over it

     But this project isn't for you, its for the benefit of US intelligence
