>For years companies have been steadily asking, mandating or even trickling users to give them their phone numbers under the excuse of security (while the real reasons were different), now what?
>How can they be trusted anymore?
I don't know if they can. I had specific conversations about things life preferring TOTP to phone in internship and job interviews, but I struggled to land the prestigious roles others did, though people I've spoken with informally certainly like to parrot key phrases I liked to use when we'd socialize at conferences.
A LOT of anti social people seem to act badly thinking no one is going to even look at what logs exist due to existing policy, let alone illegal sources of info that are used in parallel construction.
Can you please define activism for me, in your own words?
I'd hate to try to utilize my legally protected free expression rights, but accidentally do activism instead, so any tips or tricks you have would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, that's one reason I prefer verbal convos. Electron aside, how many people even keep their phone on the latest version? There's all sorts of ways to slip up with Signal, though now that I'm not violating COPPA by posting on the boards, I don't see a need to make a literal list of all of them.
>"the largest market" always reminds me of "Bin Ladens right hand".
If they're not selling guns, child abuse imagery or other extreme stuff maybe treat it as a source of intelligence rather than keep playing whack a mole?
>The main problem with projects like these is that I don't know (without manually checking myself) whether they are actually tracking the Signal source code effectively.
That's my main complaint with Signal - lots of widgets. More code to audit and keep an eye on.
