Your links are a bunch of user comments?

The push notification payloads don't contain message/sender data. Signal also runs fine without Google services, which avoids any potential problem entirely.



> Your links are a bunch of user comments?

They themselves contain the actual links and also relevant discussions. One more link: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/13842

The other metadata may be important too.

Not everybody is able to avoid Google services on their phone. I can't run it on a desktop (or GNU/Linux phone) without a connection to an Android phone.


SIM hijacking is a thing. Telcos also control phone numbers.

I have never understood the unflinching attitude towards Signal relying on phone numbers.
