signal technology foundation

The Signal Technology Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing privacy and security in the digital age. Founded by Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Acton, the foundation's primary focus is the development and maintenance of the Signal messaging app. Signal is an encrypted messaging platform that prioritizes user privacy and security, offering end-to-end encryption for all messages and calls. The app has gained widespread popularity among users seeking a secure alternative to mainstream messaging platforms that may compromise user privacy for profit. The Signal Technology Foundation operates independently of any commercial interests, relying on donations and grants to support its mission of providing secure and private communication tools to users around the world. In addition to developing the Signal app, the foundation also engages in advocacy and educational efforts to raise awareness about the importance of privacy and security in the digital age. Through its work, the Signal Technology Foundation aims to empower individuals to communicate freely and securely without fear of surveillance or interception. By promoting the use of encryption technology and advocating for privacy rights, the foundation contributes to the protection of civil liberties and democratic values in the digital realm.
