Just to remind that Signal is bu//sh*t messenger that ask you for your phone number. And keep and share all the information with authorities. Since it is a US based company, and it is what US based companies do.

If you want to make a protected application, don't tie it to any real world data. That is very easy.

Hilarious that you call it bullshit whilst spouting your own. https://signal.org/bigbrother/

Unless of course you have some documentation to back up what you're saying.

I love Signal, but in some jurisdictions government request for data can be accompanied by gagging orders with serious penalties for breach. I'm not sure that list can be considered complete.

Does the design of Signal's applications or server infrastructure change because of the jurisdiction? Does the information they gather or store change?

With signal can you join public/private channels without disclosing your phone number?

The last time I checked (a few years back) I only saw private groups and no way to hide phone numbers.

If that is still the case then there are less reason to have a warrant for you phone number as it is easier to access.

If you trust some random people over internet who publish anything, then my words should have the same power to you.

To be fair, those statements look a tad more official than your published comment.
