      You cannot use Signal without a mobile phone subscription. All mobile phone connections (CDMA or GSM alike) inherently impose tracking. Additionally, most of Europe imposes GSM registration which is linked to national ID. So the mere precondition to establish such service is in itself privacy abuse – and that’s before we even talk about forced disclosure of the phone number to OWS.
