There appears to be a powerful force pushing signal right now.
WhatsApp had the same force behind it when it first hit mainstream. I think it signals something nefarious.
- rbancroft 6y agoI noticed this too. Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have both tweeted weird endorsements of Signal lately.

- orestarod 6y agoThere is a meta play at worst. Like, someone showering you with 1 million dollars, no obligations and no strings attached, but having an ulterior motive. But, as in that scenario, it's in our hands to make the best use of what we are given.
- ipodopt 6y agoIt makes sense if you look at the founders history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_Marlinspike#Biography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moxie_Marlinspike#Biography He co-founded WhatsApp with Brian Action. They both wanted cash but also felt bad for selling out WhatsApp. So Moxie founded Signal and Brain contributed. A new clean room project under a non-profit with an endowment. Made as what WhatsApp should of been if they didn't sell out. And to the commenter below he work for Jack Dorsey as the head of cyber security. And Jack supported this project from the get go. They probably like each other. Go figure. I think this comment is low effort, malicious, and unreasoned.
