  > And for once it’s the people in power that are going to be disproportionally affected Seriously? The people in power probably have many, many phone numbers, and getting a new one is not such a big deal. Getting a new phone number is a much bigger deal for people not in power, and so are the possible negative outcomes from this (e.g. revealing the hidden identity of stalked or politically prosecuted individuals who are not in positions of power)

    I think you may be over-estimating the technical competence of "people in power" there.

    That's a good point. Perhaps a weaker claim is just the idea that people in power (or more generally, people of influence) are as likely to have skin in the game, which can only drive engagement on the issue. That's different to many issues for which those in a position of power are often less affected directly.
