And this is how you can tell that Signal is legit.

Do you really need a better endorsement?

Didn’t Elon himself say a few years ago that signal was even more secure than telegram? When people were talking about leaving whatsapp?

The reason he is banning it on Twitter is because journalists routinely link their Signal accounts so that whistleblowers can contact them and he doesn’t like that. It has nothing to do with the Signal itself.
