Getting Started With: Signal

Signal is a private messaging app with incredible end-to-end encryption (E2EE). No product can claim to be perfect. This app does offer potentially the best security and privacy for communication for everyday use. In this video we show you how to install Signal, get started with account creation, and explore a few of the many great features.

How does this app make money?

Brian, now THIS is a great question! We are remiss for not clarifying this in the video (although slightly out of scope for the video’s intended purpose). The source of revenue for any company providing a claim of privacy is extremely important.
Signal survives on donations in almost all cases. This is either through direct donations through PayPal or cryptocurrencies, or indirect donations through Amazon Smile (it appears like they earn somewhere around $3-5k/mo from this). The exceptions are few, but most notably in 2018 Brian Acton (co-founder of WhatsApp) “invested” or “donated” (the exact distinction of what return would be expected, if any is unclear so it’s probably just a donation) $50 million to Signal after resigning due to privacy concerns with Facebook’s direction with his app after they bought it.
Keep in mind that while they have a polished website and great app, this is the work of only a handful of people, and have a pretty decent group of volunteers offering help on their open source code.
