You are confusing security with privacy. But keep on ranting if you like.
Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe

Signal is considered one of the most secure messengers.
I mean lol, they require a phone number to sign up, which you can only get with an ID in many countries. You chat with a gestapo officer and they know where you life.
Signal IS GARBAGE. Fucking garbage article, gaslighting bullshit. Fuck this timeline. Honestly this article is fucking terrorism.

i would even more say with anonymity, considering the chats are still private and the main use case for messanger apps is to communicate with people who know who you are

There can be no security without privacy and a central server that can be extorted. But keep lying if you like.

Central server only gives you metadata. Therevare altrrnative clients if you don’t trust the official one.

Why are you giving gestapo your phone number instead of your username?
AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Try to think a bit before you post

I think it’s quite a good question to be honest - you can keep your phone number private from all your signal contacts and has been able to since early 2024.

You’re confusing privacy with anonymity.

They’re not mutually exclusive.
Because you’re not anonymous, you lose out on privacy.
Of course, you’re just trying to fit in with other idiots on the internet so you are incapable of understanding this basic fact.
