@benroyce@mastodon.social @ohir@social.vivaldi.net @rootschange@kolektiva.social @scathach@stereophonic.space So which government is allegedly imposing this requirement? And given that Signal is a foundation, why don't they operate from somewhere else?
The real reason here is phone numbers cost money, so infinite spam is not free. That and their architecture is still phone number based.
WhatsApp took over precisely because it could match your contacts. Signal does that without a centralized address book.
Signal is the best thing that doesn't require tech support
