@slashdot This is all well and good, but given you need to assign a phone number to Signal, and I figure they _would_ have to turn that over to the government as one of their few bits of actual stored data, then the authorities can simply trace back to that device anyway via the telecom provider.
@eldersnake Actually... I'm not so sure about this. If you read up on past Signal blog posts, I _believe_ the "Phone" number is just used as an "account" but that even that piece of metadata is also e2e encrypted. Signal _seem_ to hold such little actual data they can read themselves. So I'm not sure 🤔

@prologic Hmm, well hopefully that is the case! Cos that would be totally fine.
