Switch to Signal for encrypted messaging, EC tells staff

An interesting article about how the top government agencies and companies are ditching WhatsApp in favour of a new one called Signal.

A good read for GCSE students for examples of encryption and why it’s needed and why governments are trying to ban it.

One thing that they touch on is the difference between open source (Signal) and proprietary (WhatsApp) software.

Good ammo for a potential essay!
