The page I linked was the full data they disclosed.
- drdaeman 10y agoThanks. Seems that they either somehow don't have contact info (but then - how contact discovery's working?) or they had failed to comply with court order. Or I'm really not getting something, which is also well possible (and quite probable) explanation. Upd: Hmm... or maybe the user had no contacts.
- detaro 10y agoI think they just don't keep the contact list. It is uploaded, but only matched against the list of subscribed users at the time of the upload and then deleted. Only downside is that if a contact joins later and does not have you in its contact list you don't get notified, or only when you recheck your contact list. Your link above says at the end: For TextSecure, however, we've grown beyond the size where that remains practical, so the only thing we can do is write the server such that it --- doesn't store the transmitted contact information ---, inform the user, and give them the choice of opting out.
- drdaeman 10y agoOh. I've completely missed/forgot this. Thanks for pointing out. Yes, now it's all clear - they have contacts, but only ephemerally. Good.
