Why in gods name does a centralized instant messenger require root privileges on your machine?
Signal uses the electron framework for running in a sandbox. Electron uses the Linux user namespaces feature for building the sandbox, but this seems to be disabled in most distros. So they are using a setuid helper as a workaround. See here:
