- goatsi 4y agoWickr didn't require a phone number for account registration or identification so it attracted a higher proportion.
- croes 4y agoSo E2E chats in Telegram have the same problem. Every good thing can be used by bad people.
- waynesonfire 4y agoOh wow, looks like Signal requiring a phone number strikes a good balance.
- feanaro 4y agoWickr is hardly the only platform with end-to-end encryption not requiring phone numbers. The same applies to Matrix, for example. That's not a valid rationale or explanation for shutting down a platform.
