Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Hi! Your comment re @signalapp@mastodon.world is no longer true. No need to use a telephone number. Pseudo is enough. Please update your article :
โ However, to use Signal one must provide a valid mobile phone number to the messaging service, which prevents anyone from using Signal with complete anonymity.
Cons Others can see that your are using Signal (if phone number is known)
You need to provide a phone number to create a signal account. You don't need it to start a conversation.
@Daklon thanks for your comment, I thought tel numb wasnโt needed anymore to create an account either
