Government funding?

Mandatory phone number exposure? (or did they finally implement usernames?)

A joke of a "registration lock pin" instead a proper 2FA to protect against sim-swap?

Yes they implemented usernames earlier this year. They are fully rolled out and don't expose your phone number.

They received $3 million from the open technology fund, which is a government sponsored fund for censorship circumvention projects. https://www.opentech.fund/about/congressional-remit/

Funding source is irrelevant.

Kind of important for trust reasons.

that's honestly quite naive
