    Personally, I care about the phone number requirement not because I don’t want to reveal it to Signal servers, but because it limits access to Signal for people in countries that block their SMS service - registration messages just don’t arrive

      It’s specific to signal? Like they want to block people registering or what’s up with that SMS block?

        Not specific to Signal. I believe he was referring to places where Twilio doesn’t serve, for example because of sanctions.
