How does Signal make money? How is it so well funded?
One of the lesser known, possibly reformed(?), Facebook billionaires gave them a bunch of money several years ago, and they've been trying to bootstrap that into long term sustainability via donations from regular people.
Edit: See duplexsystem's comment below for a better summary.
Thanks!🙏
