Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)
jack@monero.town 9 months agoSignal knows your entire connection graph. Who you talk to, at what time and how much. Storing literally all of the phone numbers/identities on their servers. I use SimpleX Chat where you have no identity that can be recorded. It is also easy to use, though it’s relatively new and in active production

As everyone other said, Signal is NOT supposed to be an anonymous messaging service, but a private one. Anyone knows that the moment a service asks for their personal phone number, they can’t be anonymous. For the average Joe, Signal is the superior choice over WhatsApp, at least.

I think you don’t understand what “privacy” means. Being anonymous is the highest achievable level of privacy. There are levels before that, and Signal is at the bottom of the spectrum (WhatsApp is not even on the spectrum)

Anonymity isn’t privacy, and privacy isn’t anonymity. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Do you define privacy as “message content is hidden, everything else is irrelevant”?
