    Well now you are really insinuating a conspiracy inside Facebook. That may be happening and that would be bad.

    But I’m not talking about anything like that. I’m really only focusing on what Facebook openly says what WhatsApp is doing, and monetizing. And that’s exactly about the same data that we give Signal under the flag of open source and freedom. There’s no difference, except that in the case of WhatsApp I know the business model, and for signal I don’t.

    I don’t pay for Signal servers, so who does?
