Federal workers say they increasingly distrust platforms like Facebook
76% Informative
Federal workers say they've moved sensitive conversations from text messages and Facebook Messenger to encrypted messaging app Signal .
Many are downloading and using Signal for the first time to communicate with each other.
Federal workers fear technology companies aligned with the Trump administration could turn over user data to the government.
Signal offers end-to-end encrypted messages, meaning the company doesn’t retain or have access to messages.
As of November the federal government employed over 3 million people, or 1.87 percent of the US workforce.
Some federal employees have taken extra steps to shield their identities, like changing their display names to be anonymous.
