Signal CEO Moxie Marlinspike explains his vision for the app — and what he sees as the biggest threats to privacy- Presented by ING_News

Insider: What's drawing people to the app, and how are you adapting to meet new users, especially people who aren't particularly tech-savvy?

The US government is not a monolithic entity. There's different competing interests within any world government. On one hand, there are people who are pushing to end encryption, but on the other hand, there are people within the US government at the highest levels who are using Signal to protect their own communication. For national security reasons, Signal is used in the United States Senate, the White House, the Department of Homeland Security.

It seems like consumers care more about privacy than they did in years past. Have you noticed that trend? Why do you think that is? To me it's all alarming. I think there's a tendency for people within technology to try and characterize what Signal is doing as unusual. But I actually think that what we're doing is extremely normal, and it's everything else that is absolutely insane. It would be kind of crazy if we were sitting in a room right now having this conversation, and there was a stranger sitting right next to us taking notes about everything that we said.
