Better question… how do we find our own self-esteem without denigrating others for making choices that are absolutely none of our concern?

This is really interesting. It brings two questions to mind.

1. Don’t all messaging apps use phone number as a primary metadata value?

2. Are you suggesting that Signal could either not use this metadata or not collect it and yet they choose to collect it and can therefore lose it to exfiltration or warrant?
