  Awful shortsighted and uninformed viewpoint that has been beaten into the ground ad nauseum. Read a couple books. Privacy is a precondition to democracy.

    It isn't a viewpoint. It's a fact. I'm using signal for almost a decade now and only managed to get a dozen or so people to use it in any capacity. Most keep using whatsapp as their primary method of communication anyway.

      Meanwhile, I have been using Signal since the TextSecure days, too, and practically all my contacts are using it these days.

    What books would you recommend, that proof that connection? "Privacy is a precondition to democracy"

      How would you convert an autocracy into a democracy without secrecy? There are no peaceful means so you have to plot.

        Secrecy and privacy is not really the same concept.
