    Bingo. Not to mention that people without mobile phones (either by choice or by poverty) are excluded from contacting friends through Signal. The absurdly reckless mandate to get a mobile phone and share the ph# with OWS is what inspired this issue:

    https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/779

    which grew into something quite large. Something like requiring a mobile phone is so fundamentally indicative of an organization with little regard for privacy that you can easily expect to find other issues. Once you take a close look at it, the red flags are like mushrooms (after spotting the first one you start to see there are many clustered in the same area). And there are many mass surveillance vectors with OWS Signal. PrivacyTools and PRISM Break continue to lead ppl astray by sending them to Signal.
