Signal provides a messaging platform that prioritizes user privacy through end-to-end encryption. This means that messages and calls made through Signal are secure and can only be accessed by the intended recipients, ensuring that no one else, including Signal itself, can read or listen to them. The platform includes features like voice and video calls, group chats, and encrypted stickers, all available without long-distance charges. What sets Signal apart from its competitors is its nonprofit status, which allows it to operate independently without the influence of major tech companies. Unlike many messaging services that rely on advertising or user data for revenue, Signal is funded through grants and donations, ensuring that user privacy remains at the forefront of its mission. The goal of Signal is to provide a secure and user-friendly communication tool for individuals and groups who value their privacy.
