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.
Signal, compared with other messaging apps, has added security features to protect the privacy of its users.
Conversations on the app are end-to-end encrypted, which means they can only be read by the recipients. Signal can’t even read what has been sent.
But security is only as good as the person using it.

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

You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.
I use Signal to avoid government accountability.
We are not the same.
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.
