Good. I wish regular people moved to Signal so I could uninstall that god forsaken app.

I feel exactly the same! We are forced to use WhatsApp in a daily basis here

Having (shock!) read the article, the push is to move civil servants off of WhatsApp and Signal and any other consumer app you may be thinking about and onto a closed-off chat system for each government.

Probably a better anology would be a custom Slack-like service that these governments fully control.
