I remember when I read that article. It was a great idea. When they sold WhatsApp to Facebook however, I realized that this is potentially the fate of any for-profit business.

I agree. That's why I have become a much bigger champion for non-profit businesses.

Hey Brian, great to see you on here. Any updates or thoughts as to where Signal is these days? I would love to switch over to it as my primary messenger, but the majority of my non-tech friends haven't heard of it before.

Longshot: Hey Brian any way I could share an idea with you. I too have been getting sick of ad dominated internet services
