Nobody cares about this unless they deal drugs or something.

What some people care about is not giving all their private conversations to masculine energy zuck - but don't expect any major wins.

Awful shortsighted and uninformed viewpoint that has been beaten into the ground ad nauseum.

Read a couple books. Privacy is a precondition to democracy.

It isn't a viewpoint. It's a fact. I'm using signal for almost a decade now and only managed to get a dozen or so people to use it in any capacity. Most keep using whatsapp as their primary method of communication anyway.

Meanwhile, I have been using Signal since the TextSecure days, too, and practically all my contacts are using it these days.

How would you convert an autocracy into a democracy without secrecy? There are no peaceful means so you have to plot.

Secrecy and privacy is not really the same concept.

>Read a couple books

Maybe you should? It might help improve your reading comprehension. The person you're responding to said that most normal people don't care enough to switch to a vastly less popular app, which is obviously true.
