In the world of messaging, more and more companies are dedicated to launching products so that users can communicate through messages. But for some time now, those who arrive do so with one main characteristic: privacy, something that to this day is still a bit difficult to find in general applications, although they also have the possibility of end-to-end encryption of conversations. Edward Snowden, who became famous as a result of revealing the operation of the NSA when it comes to spying not only on citizens, but also on other countries, also makes use of these types of applications, but not the usual ones.
The application that Snowden only uses to send messages is called Signar, an application that has end-to-end encryption being one of the safest options to communicate without fear that different governments can access our conversations. This application has seen how since Donald Trump's victory as electro president in the United States, downloads have skyrocketed.
Earlier this year, Trump expressed his displeasure with Apple for not wanting to unlock the device used by terrorists from the San Bernardino bombing in December last year. According to the FBI, the terminal could have material necessary to prevent future attacks. The position against Apple for its refusal implied that if it won the election, the control over its citizens could be much greater than the current one.
Signal hit the market in 2015 and currently It offers us versions for Android, iOS and the Chrome browser and it has become one of the most used applications by all those people who want to avoid government control and surveillance at all costs.
