2FA helps with security concerns, not privacy concerns. They still would have your number. Also about Google, they have one of the widest spread and utilized 2FA authentication applications out there.

Them not understanding how it works makes it worse. The fact is they're still attempting to create it and people are just tolerating it.

If you wanted to, you could put full control of your messages even on your own server by using Simplex. Of course, this comment you're saying is a far cry from reality.

precisely that's why it's become so popular and recommended and now these users are recommending it furthering the amount of people that will have their data exposed there was a leak I believe in 2022 and on signal a lot of customers had their phone numbers exposed if their phone numbers are not stored how did they get exposed? Clearly the answer is that they are stored.

Because it has become extremely popular, that's just how it goes. At one point, even Telegram was recommended for being super secure or private, but the privacy is mild on Telegram at best.

But by comparison to Instagram or Whatsapp, it's how the gram looks like Privacy Central, so it was recommended. Now, Signal is replacing that role.

Signal is more private than the sus apps like IG, Facebook, etc. Yes. But only because those apps are so bad.

To preserve it's own survival, prevent itself from getting deleted and to finish it's task by any means necessary. There are plett of scientific videos on YouTube about it. Not entertainment videos but scientifically tested and backed by creators of some AI

I've never saw the app use internet through my firewall. That was without a block but I blocked it just in case some future attempt was made

Yes. It makes you worst too. Ask anyone that's actually on them.

They cash grab so hard now and days. They do it in movies too. They don't care about the quality. The leader of the creation teams are the new era graduates who suck. Like they aren't that talented and AI their way through exams and test. I also think that the customer has been extremely dumb with lower standards so the creators unfortunately don't put in as much effort

Unfortunately it is getting goals.

They know who you're in contact with, who you communicate with the most due to the phone numbers being linked to your account. On their own website they say people can add you by searching your phone number in the search bar. If your phone number was not stored, this would not even be possible. A reference (like a phone but with your number on display) would have to be used in order to confirm that your account is the one that is being searched. The reference is the phone number. It is not private. I am not the one talking about anonymity over and over you are.

From the very beginning I have been speaking on privacy. If they know your number and know who your number is in communication with they now know what you're doing (talking to person x)

Evennif it is encrypted the damn app is a worst choice than SimpleX the thing I recommended. You chumps want to argue so bad you are missing the point. PRIVACY. Like the name of the damn group you're in. Why get compromised privacy when you can get comprehensive privacy (simplex)?

Answer you are a hypebeast promoing the most popular "privacy app"
