"Signal doesn’t have access to messages; chat lists; groups; contacts; stickers; profile names/avatars; or even GIFs."

That’s why we suggest @signalapp for messaging. With end-to-end encryption by default, they simply don't have your data (like us): https://signal.org/bigbrother/central-california-grand-jury/

How much do you spend on advertising? €0

What's your marketing budget? €0

You must use tons of sneaky website elements to trick people? No.

You can grow without being annoying and without supporting the adtech. 😀

Our growth just happens because people understand the need for privacy. You are amazing! 🥰

@Gargron Let's imagine that Twitter and Facebook were China platforms and USA politicians had an account on them and discussed internal politics and if they sad something which was not in line of those companies and China Communist Party then they could be banned. How would USA politicians would behave then?

WhatsApp users beware: the app will now force users to agree to share data (i.e. phone numbers, other people’s numbers stored in address books, location, etc.) w/Facebook (even if you've previously opted out).

Time to switch to @signalapp!

Posts about your children matter. Remember that if you post it, the likelihood of someone finding it, even far in the future, is likely.

Making a conscious effort to treat their online identity with respect is a great way to ensure what YOU post does not come back to haunt them.

Are you upset by what #Facebook, #Google & the like divulge to others without your approval?

Don’t be a Google. Don’t be a Facebook. Be the most private you possible when it comes to your kids.

In Japan they use the old edges of tatami mats to tie these together. I think these protect the trees from the weight of the snow.

Yet another article from an ex-Googler highlighting the culture change at the company. Yes, "don't be evil" is a thing from the past.
