I am waiting for Cross Messenger Law of Europe it means that Signal and Whatsapp User can talk to each other.

If Whatsapp really wants to scare away there Users many are gonna switch because of the Email old persons have EMails but no clue how to use it.

Its easier to install another Messenger than EMail Verifikation.

I think Signal is against that because it compromises their security model. Also I think they aren't required by law to implement it but I'm not sure.
