I got my girlfriend on signal, but she's a Mexican citizen. That entire country runs on WhatsApp. It would be like pulling teeth to make her understand why WhatsApp is bad.
I told her I can't use it, so we compromised.
Thats what I'm saying! Maybe once there are entire countries running on signal you can be the snooty "my contacts in my phone can see me on signal" critic that nobody cares about or listens to
Right now meta has access to every message sent in Mexico and this guy is trying to convince people not to use signal because it "isn't secure" smh
