The biggest paradox that I am seeing here is that Edward Snowden is promoting Signal but also Jack Dorsey. Jack is a red flag.

[@chicawhappa]

My thoughts exactly. Suddenly now I am wary of using Signal. Now, Dorsey is clear that it should be a red flag. But I watched an interview of Snowden from last year, and it's clear to me he's a Bullshitter. He said that Obama just wanted to "do some good in the world" (lies, the guy was a warmonger), and there are no aliens (yet, the Israeli guy came out and said there are) and a few other things. Also the way he tries to drag his "uhhh" and modulates his voice, it sends ALL my red flags up. Guy is a disinfo agent, maybe he didn't start out that way, but he is now. I don't trust him at all, and Dorsey even less. Anyway, sorry for the rant.

Facebook is being collecting whatsapp data since day one. People are just freaking out now because they made it public. I thought everyone knew this practice of data harvesting.

[@MikeTrieu]

I moved my family to Signal long before the WhatsApp freakout. Prior to that, we were using Wire, but that company recently got sold to an American holding company and pivoted to enterprise comms, so I don't trust it anymore. I was using Signal when it was still called TextSecure and was using RedPhone for audio. Its certainly come a long way since then. The real game-changer is when Signal finally implements number-free registration. Until then, the OMEMO protocol over XMPP/Jabber offers that today on any supported server, but it isn't nearly as user-friendly. You can, however run it over Tor on a mobile for increased location anonymity.

[@FAT8893]

While I do love Signal's end-to-end encryption, I do want a complete WhatsApp replacement that has the same or better features like in WhatsApp. That is why I keep using Telegram.

Good review but your are mostly missing the important parts.
