Signal hat in den Niederlanden mehr als 2 Millionen aktive Nutzer. Dies wurde de Volkskrant<\/a><\/em> von Jun Harada, Head of Growth and Partnerships bei Signal best\u00e4tigt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal hat in den Niederlanden in diesem Jahr ein signifikantes Wachstum<\/a> erfahren. Bereits im Mai hatte eine Studie von Telecompaper<\/a> angedeutet, dass es im Land mehr als 2 Millionen Nutzer gibt, und dies wurde nun offiziell best\u00e4tigt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Im M\u00e4rz hatten wir die Exklusivmeldung, dass die Niederlande ein Top-5 Land von Signal<\/a>geworden waren, neben viel gr\u00f6\u00dferen L\u00e4ndern wie den Vereinigten Staaten, Deutschland, Indien und der Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diese Zahlen erkl\u00e4ren, warum WhatsApp sich gezwungen sah, in den Niederlanden eine Charmeoffensive zu starten.<\/a> WhatsApp versuchte, niederl\u00e4ndische Nutzer davon zu \u00fcberzeugen, dass es genauso datenschutzfreundlich sei wie Signal. Diese irref\u00fchrenden Aussagen von WhatsApp-Chef Will Cathcart wurden schnell von Signal-Pr\u00e4sidentin Meredith Whittaker widerlegt.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal ist deutlich datenschutzfreundlicher als WhatsApp.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Signal ist die datenschutzorientierte Alternative zu WhatsApp von Meta. Im Gegensatz zu Signal kann WhatsApp eine Menge \u00fcber dich sehen<\/a>: dein Profilbild, pers\u00f6nliche Informationen, Gruppennamen und Beschreibungen deiner Gruppen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp f\u00fcgt der App immer mehr unverschl\u00fcsselte Funktionen hinzu, wie Kan\u00e4le und Meta AI, die sich nicht deaktivieren lassen. Mit diesen Funktionen sammelt Meta eine gro\u00dfe Menge an Daten \u00fcber dich und deine Kontakte. Experten und die niederl\u00e4ndische Datenschutzbeh\u00f6rde haben diesbez\u00fcglich starke Kritik an Meta AI ge\u00e4u\u00dfert.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal bleibt kostenlos und werbefrei<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nachdem WhatsApp dabei ist Werbung in der App einzuf\u00fchren,<\/a>betont Signal, dass es kostenlos und werbefrei bleiben wird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal ist eine Non-Profit-Organisation<\/a>ohne Aktion\u00e4re und ohne kommerziellen Interessen. Sie wird haupts\u00e4chlich durch Spenden finanziert und entwickelt ein Freemium-Modell f\u00fcr Signal Backups<\/a>Diese Funktion ist mit erheblichen Zusatzkosten verbunden. Lokale und Cloud-Backups von Texten und k\u00fcrzlich verwendeten Medien bleiben weiterhin kostenlos, f\u00fcr ein vollst\u00e4ndiges Backup all Ihrer Medien wird jedoch eine geringe Geb\u00fchr zur Kostendeckung erhoben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
