    To be fair, as soon as Signal chooses do to so, they can walk back any statement. Her words don’t hold much value either…

    I guess people forgot how Mozilla not that long ago simply went ahead and deleted mentions of ‘never selling your data’

      That’s why I embraced xmpp. I liked what Signal is doing, but I don’t believe any company, or anyone that owns one.

      It’s why a lot of you are here lol

      Lemmy users will really do anything before they believe a woman, won’t they?

      "The man is still correct because the Signal CEO may claim that TODAY that engineers are not currently working on adding AI, but that doesn’t mean in the future she won’t say it was worked on in the past!"

          She’s also the founder of AI Now, which produces reports on the social impact of AI.

          Its 2023 Report argued that meaningful reform of the tech sector must focus on addressing concentrated power in the tech industry.

          The company behind Signal, Signal Messenger LLC, is not publicly traded. That and VC money tends to be where the problems begin. When it comes down to it, companies are just collections of people who band together to accomplish something that they couldn’t on their own. We’re so used to companies being soul sucking parasites of capitalism that we’ve lost track of what they’re for.
