I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    These are all the court orders Signal has complied to and details all the information they give up

    TLDR; they only give the last time the account connected to Signal servers and the time of account registration or re-registration
