Granted, the part

The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store

is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

    I am from Denmark. I have spent the last 10 years fighting to get schools and government institutions to switch away from American software.

    What a waste of time, when all it takes is the threat of an imperialist take-over of Greenland to actually get my fellow countrymen to finally listen and act.

      Italian in Denmark here.

      I thank you so much for this! I am amazed at the dependence of all facets of social life and information on Meta and Google’s properties.

      I am cut out of my building’s initiatives because I don’t have a Facebook account. There are no events (such as dance events, protests, etc) published anywhere else than on Facebook’s Events.

      When I propose to be contacted on Signal people look at me as if I was an alien.

      You are doing God’s work, as a Christian would say.
