    It does not. They did away with that some time ago.

      They never stopped requiring a phone number to sign up.

        Yes. I clarified that in a different comment. My original reply was not meant as “Signal is the best solution” but as a heads up that Proton Stealth can not only bypass the block but also disguise the traffic if you want to continue using Signal.

      That’s not really the issue though, if you want to stay anonymous and not tell the government you use signal, since sms is insecure
