Episode notes
Early Tech Days
- Meredith Whittaker started at Google in 2006 when it was smaller than Yahoo.
- There were no iPhones, and she had to print paper directions to her interview.
Open Source Commitment
- Open source is a commitment to users, not a business model for Signal.
- Signal's model requests donations and refuses to monetize surveillance, unlike other tech companies.
Metadata Protection
- Signal's end-to-end encryption protects message content and metadata.
- Unlike other messengers, Signal doesn't know your name, group members, or who you're messaging.
