## What Jamie wrote

Interview is more about Whittaker than Signal, but I appreciated reading it as she has been outspoken about Signal and I've generally liked the direction she is taking the conversation on privacy. I’m a casual user of Signal, but happy to pay a monthly donation for such a critical service. We need services like Signal and leaders like Whittaker out there fighting for privacy.
