      Because it’s cheap. And there is no risk since all the data is encrypted on your device by the code that was written and built and signed in a secure environment.

        but you are still giving money to someone who is in blatant opposition to your ideals. it is as if vegan society outsourced some services to slaughterhouse, inc., because it was cheap. doesn’t make sense.

          Does Signal have a position in the first place? As far as I know they only get political when encryption is threatened.

          They did give away those neck thingies during the BLM protests, but if I remember correctly they gave them away to people protesting (not specifically BLM). After that I think they have been pretty neutral ( correct me if I am wrong though :) )
