  What does this mean? That people are targetted based on who they’re talking to instead of what they’re saying?

    basically.

    even minimal metadata for example from signal contains

    Message dates and times

    Message senders and recipients (via phone number identifiers)

    From these 2 pieces of information, its possible to build social graphs: who talked to who, and when they did it. Also, who’s in a group chat with who else.
