Signal – Don’t forget to configure for privacy
In a business or non-profit environment, there is a good chance that your management team is using Signal. And why not? It brings security and privacy to messaging, file sharing, video and phone calls. Not only can you do one-to-one communications, you can create and manage groups. Sensitive business conversations can remain secret. What’s not to like about that?
Out-of-the-Box Signal needs attention to the configuration settings to get the best privacy. If you are a CISO or IT specialist, you can help your management team configure Signal for the best privacy.
After installing Signal on a mobil phone or desktop, review the configuration settings and adjust them as needed. Here is a free guide that will get you started:

These are the top and bottom parts of 2 loads of that page a few seconds apart. Not private windows, no browser restart or other trickery. It can’t even settle on a CPU or screen size in the same load. It is apparently using 2 different sources for CPU type and for screen dimensions. I have not told Safari to claim that it is on Intel, that appears to be an Apple choice.
Reading this, people could actually think Anthropic helps them keeping their data safe. However you still have to trust Anthropic itself that has access to all your data when using their AI or am i misreading it?
