My thought about Signal (week 9)

     Signal's biggest selling point, in my opinion, is that its a secure encrypted messaging app, which means that it is a lot safer than messaging apps like Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, etc. Signal is developed by a non-profit organization, it doesn’t try to gather a bunch of data on you or show you any advertisements. While Signal has a very familiar interface with most messaging apps on the market, it’s very different under the hood. Your conversations in Signal are end-to-end encrypted, which means that not even the owners of Signal can monitor them. Only the people in the conversation can see them. In today's time and age, due to the steadily growing number of cybercrimes, people start to take more and more precaution in protecting their private information. Which means that Signal would attract a lot people who want to take measures to protect their data. Therefore, I think Signal will have great success in the near future.
