I am trying to convince my group to switch from WhatsApp to Signal and we plan to vote on it soon. So, I plan to use the replies in this thread to compile a list of reasons to use as talking points. Preferably, I need something that can be understood on a personal level as some of my friends are deeply cynical and have no concern about escaping techno-feudalism and surveillance.
WhatsApp is a product of Meta, one of the most outright evil organisations in the world. Signal isn’t - the Signal Foundation isn’t perfect, but they do at least try to do right by their users.
