That’s true but we can’t use Signal to communicate with untrusted people because of it. We can use other platforms for it though. It’s just not as attractively convenient as I’d like a privacy-focused solution to be
Well it would be better if a phone number wasn’t required for registration but it’s still much better than nothing
Would be much harder to fight spam without phone numbers, unfortunately.
