Have fun when the signal data breach gets revealed SIS

They know who you’re in contact with, who you communicate with the most due to the phone numbers being linked to your account. On their own website they say people can add you by searching your phone number in the search bar. If your phone number was not stored, this would not even be possible. A reference (like a phone but with your number on display) would have to be used in order to confirm that your account is the one that is being searched. The reference is the phone number. It is not private. I am not the one talking about anonymity over and over you are.

From the very beginning I have been speaking on privacy. If they know your number and know who your number is in communication with they now know what you’re doing (talking to person x)

Evennif it is encrypted the damn app is a worst choice than SimpleX the thing I recommended. You chumps want to argue so bad you are missing the point. PRIVACY. Like the name of the damn group you’re in. Why get compromised privacy when you can get comprehensive privacy (simplex)?

Answer you are a hypebeast promoing the most popular “privacy app”

God damn. If you attach your phone number to it. It is not private in most users cases the identity it tied to the phone number. Signal knows the phone numbers and you better understand that they will reveal them if ever requested.

Its not private nor is it anonymous.

If simplex used phone numbers and defeated the whole concept of privacy it would be recommended more.

Signal over the past few years has been exposed for having flaws in its security integrity. Even the president’s current administration has had a leak issue by using the platform, Signal.

Once again, they ask for your phone number. Anything they ask for your phone number, if your phone number is tied to your identity, can easily be revealed to reveal who you are.

Geez. You just don’t get it. You don’t need your identity tied to your email. Proton mail didn’t ask me for a phone or email. But I’ve had it for years so maybe that changed. But you conceal your personal info when you sign up. Tutamail is used by many people. And you can email any other email provider with it

Protonmail is highly accepted and tutamail didn’t ask for my number or another email. You are in a group called privacy but you think there is no privacy?

I just stop using those accounts that force me to give up my number. It’s called standards, YOU must have them and you will have more privacy than most.

This group function is to help increase privacy. That’s what I’m doing by letting you know not to use your phone number. If you have a defeatist ideology. You lose.

Wow. You give them your phone number to sign up. They text you a confirmation code but they don’t know your phone number. Magic

People who actually care about privacy: the quality or state of being apart from company or observation (definition), wouldn’t want a company knowing their phone number and thus identity tied to their phone number. Maybe you believe in a lower level of privacy than I do. That’s fine but my post was for people who never thought about it but will care and those who should care.

Cool bro

Privacy lovers aren’t the average person. Just wish these folk that keep wanting privacy would stop being so dumb about it.

This list is terrible and not even true for some of the things listed. Funny how hard you all are defending not reading. Reading the TOS of some of these would in most cases always inform you of something they practice that they want you to agree to that you may or may not like. So yes a high majority of the time.

There is also a difference between being private and trying to prevent you from being spied on. Duckduckgo doesn’t use trackers but that doesn’t mean they won’t give your IP address and search results to an Alphabet Agency (for one example)

Read the terms of service. Doesn’t matter the product. Also we use mopeds in my country lol you all are funny

I was just telling people to read terms of service and people disliked my post. If they read it they would realize information like that but they are SIMPs so they just refuse to and say “oh iTz tOo hArdD to ReAd it”

Well don’t use it if you don’t know what the companies doing. Because we have to take responsibility as users

It is better. First of all you don’t have to connect your phone number or an email. this is an automatic victory

Its on a torified network. It’s encrypted And if you choose basically every chat is a burner account. So once deleted it’s gone.

I’ve noticed that signal is actually NOT secure at all and may actually be a gov project

Happened to me for a few weeks. Then just started working out of nowhere. I believe alphabet agencies are targeting Tor nodes behind the scenes. Then I saw a few public articles supporting this idea. I think they are about to try and make Tor difficult to use to the point it will be hard to impossible
