There might be if everyone in the conversation is sophisticated enough to use them. If you're trying to set up communication with a large number of people who have consumer-level technical knowledge in a country that had a coup two days ago and is now suffering a crackdown at the hands of the new military dictatorship, Signal might be just the ticket.
