#2Old habits and mindsets never seem to change despite corporate pronouncements and PR puff pieces written by stenographers. The regulators (and legislators) are either the biggest dupes, or much more likely in on it.
Let’s not forget the FTC hookup for Netflix by Obama and the eventual payout when he left office.
Or Ajit Pai who came from Verizon to run the FTC and undid the Obama era changes favorable to Netflix and inimical to Verizon.

I hardly see any of these events as triggers for the mass migration to apps like Signal. The network effects seem impregnable for now.

Last I checked signal still needs a phone number so that is an issue. Lots of people use smartphones with no sim hooked up and wifi only.
