7 months agoPersonally, I care about the phone number requirement not because I don’t want to reveal it to Signal servers, but because it limits access to Signal for people in countries that block their SMS service - registration messages just don’t arrive
Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I’m happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.
I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it’s the largest shareholder, but they didn’t say “majority shareholder”.
