I hope one day apps like Signal will be the default for everyone, not just protesters in a time of crisis.

It's my default and over a few years I've pretty much converted everyone in my life except my mom

Sadly, Signal neglects user experience, and as a result people around me all tend to migrate to WhatsApp.

They don't care that they are uploading their entire contact list to Facebook — "death before inconvenience".

Actually WhatsApp only uploads numbers. Ironically, Signal is contemplating uploading your full address book to their cloud for “easy recovery”. Which is a nightmare if they follow through with it.
