  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.

  You are confusing security with privacy. But keep on ranting if you like.

    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.

    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.
