Why are people still using APS like #Signal and #Telegram? They are inherently unsafe because they relay on highly identifiable and localized identifiers like phone numbers. #Anonymity, or an option thereof, is IMPARATIVE to #privacy. These services leave you vulnerable to 1) their creators being forced to reveal your private info under duress (Telegram) and being made unavailable in your geographical area (Signal). Both relay on your literal phone number for you to #identify yourself.
