In comparison to what other messaging platforms? What do you mean it requires ID/passport? It uses phone number as a "username", which is why it's easy to use.
- DenseComet 7y agoSome countries require ID/passport to just get a phone number. This could potentially be sidestepped by getting a Twilio number or Google Voice number, but that causes it to be far from frictionless.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoThis is like complaining that you need to sign up for the internet using personal info to get onto the net.
- vpEfljFL 7y agoUnless if ISP positions itself as rigid security service devoted to provide you security features and some famous people recommend using it in order to transfer sensitive documents.
- llukas 7y agoThey do not promise anonymous transfers. They promise encrypted transfers.
- zokier 7y agoPublic internet access, both in the form of hotspots and computers, are perfectly usable (if not terribly secure). But you cannot use Signal with a payphone.
- couchand 7y agoSuch access is FAR LESS secure for most real humans' threat models.
