Basically, a good way to never trust "it's okay, the data is anonymized" again is simply knowing what the "Hemisphere Program" is. (mastodon.social)

The evidence is that a lot of prominent people in tech, influencers if you like, incessantly promote Signal, and anybody pointing out problems with it gets immediately mobbed. I don't have definitive proof for you, if that's what you're asking, but it's certainly a weird situation that I haven't seen happening with other messaging platforms. I find it odd to say the least.

I hadn't noticed, but if that's the case it certainly is weird and suspicious. I'll keep an eye out, thanks.
