While Signal is definitely one of the more secure Methods of communication, it requires a phone number to sign up. I realize that phone number may be stored somewhat securely… But it is definitely an anonymity issue. They just simply should not require this. Also, no matter what any company says, I just don’t trust them with any amount of information. So, if I was going to use an online messaging service to commit crimes, I definitely wouldn’t use something that I did not have 100% control over. But of course, do I have those skills? I think I might, but… I’m not building my own encryption for good reason.
