Looks like the Netherlands just can’t get enough of Signal! Since January, when Donald Trump took office again as the US president, the number of users of this encrypted communication app has skyrocketed an unbelievable 25 times! Yes, you read that right — 25 times! The Netherlands is now among the top five countries with the most Signal users, alongside Ukraine, Germany, and the US, even though these countries have much larger populations. The number of Signal users in the Netherlands has surpassed two million, a true explosion in the world of digital privacy.
What’s going on? Is Trump’s politics so scary that people are fleeing to the safety of encrypted messages? Signal, known for its security and privacy, has become a massive hit in the Netherlands, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. While the world looks toward a digital future, the Dutch have clearly decided they don’t want their conversations under surveillance.
Imagine this — in a country with about 17 million people, over two million now use Signal! That’s nearly one in eight residents! And that’s not all — the number of new monthly registrations has increased 25 times since the start of the year. Is this the dawn of a new era of digital privacy or just panic over political turmoil? Either way, it’s clear Signal has become a symbol of resistance against surveillance and control.
As the Netherlands fights for its privacy, the rest of the world watches and wonders: who’s next? Will your country soon explode in Signal usage? Or are you already on that list? If not, maybe it’s time to ask why not?
Either way, this is a story to watch. The digital revolution is here, and it looks like the Netherlands is leading the charge. What about you? Have you switched to Signal yet or are you still fumbling in the dark? Share your thoughts, maybe you’ll surprise us all!
