IMHO sport is a misnomer. "Game" seems more fitting to me.

When people in conversations tell me they've got nothing to hide, I routinely ask them for their bank details.

Why does Signal need my phone number?

Signal is subject to National Security Letters in the U.S.

Signal received funding from Radio Free Asia owned by the U.S. Agency for Global Media with ties to the CIA.

They seem to have a history of needing quite some time to release the server source code.

Here are some articles to read about Signal:

Stray.

IMHO knowing one thing is enough: It's Meta. That's enough information to never use it. They're interested in collecting and selling your data. Threads is not the product, the users are.

This the dystopia we chose for ourselves.

That's why sports channels are much more expensive than everything else. It's harder to pirate live sports events. FKN corpos made it impossible for my parents to watch Wimbledon.

Meanwhile the perpetrator gets over a € 1 million via crowdfunding. WTF France!?
