Yes, big diff between Signal, WhatsApp and T/gram.
We're not 'arguing against Signal.' We're saying that govts shouldn't use consumer messaging apps.
Govts need enterprise s/w. Signal doesn't offer those features, and has never claimed to. Its focus is totally different, and that's fine.
We provide ent-grade features as part of our commercial solution. That revenue pays the salaries of people who develop FOSS and commercial software.
