TechCrunch · Signal is the number-one downloaded app in the Netherlands. But why? | TechCrunchPrivacy-focused messaging app Signal has been flying high in the Dutch app stores this past month, sitting in pole-position for much of it.
@gerrit @technews dunno. Signal has seen some publicity here, Meredith Whittaker was in NL early this year, and various civil society orgs have been promoting Signal around it. There has been a stronger push in general to leave big tech behind, framed more as digital sovereignty. I had multiple session with public sector entities around it in the past months, so definitely a surge in interest.
