Dude, I have heard that terrorists breathe. Do you breathe? You may want to check yourself, buddy!
I’m just really surprised by some of the people I have heard say these things about Signal because one is a family member who works in politics and is otherwise really smart and with it. I think the next time we see one another I want to ask him about it because I’m really curious about what he thinks and why he thinks that way. My own experience with Signal has been wonderful. I have only had one chat request from either a scammer or a bot and that’s nothing compared to the weird shit I would experience on Facebook, youtube and reddit sometimes. Facebook especially was weird at one point. I would suddenly have people on my friends list I didn’t know at all and whom I had no memory of adding. Same with subscriptions to random channels on youtube and constant chat requests from bots on reddit. By that measure, I think Signal is pretty solid in comparison.
The way the media portrays this current goof almost makes it sound like Signal is a dangerous app to use, when it’s literally the actions of one asshole who went through all the steps of adding the wrong person. There is no way you’re gonna do that by mistake. I downloaded the app so I could keep in contact with my best friend when I left facebook. We live in vastly different countries and don’t have each other’s phone numbers so it was a bit of an awkward dance back and forth immediately after we downloaded the app and tried to figure out how the fuck you add each other.
If more noobs like me used the app and understood the basics of what it is, they too would realize a few things about this “accident”.
