Norwegians are notoriously bad at caring about information security. I'm sure the fact that we in general have a high confidence in our government has much to do with it. As a people we tend to be incredibly naïve when it comes to Big Tech.
But I'm glad to see that Signal has risen in the top downloads in the Play Store since Signalgate broke. It was at 72nd place then, and just now it sits at 19th.
I would love it if more people dropped Messenger!
