I'm opportunistically supporting more secure messengers by "digital osmosis".

Next to WhatsApp I also have installed:

1. Signal

2. Threema

3. Telegram

And I will use those (in described order) if possible.

Threema seems to be comparatively popular in Germany, while Telegram is at least not among my peers and Signal (the one recommended by Schneier and Snowden) is only used by my gf (b/c I installed it for her).

FB released a product called Signal http://media.fb.com/2015/09/17/introducing-signal/

If you do a Google search that's the first result. Would be funny if they were afraid enough to do a SEO 'attack'. Yeah, tinfoil.

If I search for "Signal" on google.com in a private Chrome window then the first five results are all about the "good" Signal app.

I love the idea of encrypting by default - since yesterday my public key is available on the usual key servers.
