"Alt tech,encryption" Signal Messenger  (Big tech, Corporation)   | |

| Messaging service funded by the CIA, and about just as untrustable. |
Signal is an encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice, and video calls.[1] The instant messaging function includes sending text, voice notes, images, videos, and other files.Communication may be one-to-one between users or may involve group messaging.[2]
Failure to allow anonymous sign up
The most requested feature of Signal was the chance to use anonymous usernames rather than phone numbers as IDs, but this was resisted, ostensibly in a bid to prevent spam.[citation needed]
Funding
"Never acknowledged in any serious way by the mainstream media, encrypted messaging app Signal’s origins as a US government asset are a matter of extensive public record, even if the scope and scale of the funding provided has until now been secret."[3]
