Has anybody else noticed SIGNAL make it very hard to install and run there app unless its on an android or IOS device?
The likely reasons for this is they are collecting fingerprint data on o devices...
For example
ts very difficult to install SIGNAL Desktop unless u scan the QR code from your phone - IE a camera is needed and this also links your phone device fingerprint to your desktop signal.
Signal could easily allow us to use an SMS or call Verification, but suspiciously, they do not.
1) Are there any other ways to setup Signal or Signal desktop without them secretly collecting our device data?
2) Any non-Signal alternatives
I managed to convince 13 of my friends to use Signal, I can easily convince them the app is compromised and get them to switch to another app.
