The number of data requests fulfilled by Telegram skyrocketed, with the company providing data to U.S. authorities on 2,253 users last year.

    Given than I deleted Signal years ago now, I don’t much care about this phone number sharing/not sharing aspect.
    But in case anyone does care, Moxie responded to jwz’s concerns in that ancient post: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2017/03/signal-leaks-your-phone-number-to-everyone-in-your-contacts/#comment-172865

      If you don’t care then stop arguing about it. Personally, I care very much about people spreading disinformation.

        Yeah sorry: my bringing up JWZ as an example of past circular arguments I’ve come across devolved into a whole tangent thread I never meant to have.
