Encrypted instant messaging app Signal is reporting a surge in new signups and new users, which has resulted in delays in sending out the phone number verification codes. Signal, an instant messaging app developed by the nonprofit Signal Foundation, is a rival for instant messaging apps owned by Facebook, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. There are two very popular reasons for why this may be happening, if we are to put two and two together with regards to the timing. First, the new WhatsApp Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that makes it even more clear that user data is being shared with Facebook’s other apps and services. And secondly, the new richest man in the world, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, who simply tweeted “use Signal” a few hours ago after the mob violence on the US Capitol in Washington.
