The encryption-system behind signal was developed by Matthew Rosenfield, aka, Moxie Marlinspike. He founded "Whisper Systems", which was purchased by Twitter. After that, Rosenfield left and founded "Open Whisper Systems" - which later renamed itself "Signal".

Jack has been promoting Signal - indicating that Jack Dorsey and Matthew Rosenfield continue to be closely connected. To reiterate, Rosenfield founded Signal. He remains at Signal.

(Another co-founder of signal: Brian Acton, who had come to Rosenfield from Facebook.)

That figures.

And it asks for a phone number up front.

Because like most mobile chat apps your phone number is your account. It's also an SMS app.

Yeah I get a bonus every time one of you signs up on signal within a confidential timeframe after reading my post.

Telegram also asks for a phone number up front and it has lots of fashy groups there unlike riot/element which only asks for username/email.
