@paulbiggar Arguably it’s time to do away with any messenger that requires a phone number for registration, and preferably any identifiers at all (which is possible.) The risks are too high and are exasperated by AI, and people confusing genuine privacy with security is literally a deadly mistake. End-to-end encrypted messages don't protect from metadata being collected, and in many cases centrally stored, and enables operators to build out user social graphs & activities based on them.
