That’s a glowing recommendation of Signal. And a good reminder to donate. I’m doing it right now.

Don’t threaten us with a good time!
Right. This goes for every company, ever. No company is going to do what they should do if it’s not profitable or beneficial to them in some way. It makes sense if you think about it, but that’s also why regulation exists. So that they don’t become too unhinged.
So when the existential threat is made public, it’ll already be in the palm of his hand. Wonderful.
This would only be meaningful if it wasn’t collected in the first place.
No Big Tech company has your best interests in mind. Ever.
Reminder: this is the company that holds a monopoly on the internet and dictates web standards.
I need to understand why people still keep giving that man money. Willingly. It’s mind boggling.
That network wasn’t built overnight either, though. The same way it was built little by little over time, it can also be dismantled.
I understand the chokehold of network effects. I really do. But what’s the alternative?
Whose fault is it though? I get that collective will is hard, but you as an individual have the power to move, organize, mobilize, whatever you want.
The company doesn’t value you? Move. Why are you giving this company free labor?
For the “prestige” of being a (“anonymous”) reddit mod? Give me a break. There’s better things to do and be prouder of in life.
Stop giving this company time, money, and attention. And tell others to do the same. Otherwise, you’re digging your own (and everyone else’s) hole.
Yes, it’s unfair, but it’s an unfair system. So let’s all do our part. And let’s also organize and mobilize on that. Can’t be done by continuing to feed it.
What’s even scarier is that takeout is probably only the data they want you to see, or are legally obliged to share.
I would be willing to wager they have lots more on you that you’re not even aware of.
Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?
