Can't be trusted for what?
Keeping your data safe from yourself?
- Moldoteck 3y agoI think they mean the public phone number. For some people only this thing was enough to not trust signal
- _8j50 3y agoI did. I can't secure mobile phones due to their design and available OS. And the whole phone number thing is too similar to how the NSA encouraged PGP email encryption because of the metadata. Phone numbers identify you even better than your finger print, gps and ip combined in some situations. You start sharing sensitive stuff more because everyone telld you how great Signal is despite that.
- ranguna 3y agoYeah, beats any of the other options atm. But I do hope they remove the phone number requirement.
