A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

There's any number of reasons for SMS not to be sent. I've had this problem on various platforms as well.
The real issue is that people can't register for Signal due to blocked SMS. Arguing privacy vs. anonymity is pointless when access is the problem.
These are 2 unrelated conversations. If you want to have either one of them, we can do that, but you can't use one to argue the other. You can't argue that you can't sign up for Signal because the service isn't private. That's simply inaccurate.
This is never written anywhere in that comment. Is it too hard to read? Which part is confusing?
You haven't provided any evidence that it's "blocked" or that there is any "denial of service". As far as I can tell, the user has network issues.
Why are all the 'network issues' always effecting phone numbers starting with the same country code?
Are they?
Get a number like theirs and try it yourself.
Okay so you don't have any evidence.
You were given the evidence. It's clear you don't want it. A VoIP number does not solve this as the original post already explains.
You haven't provided any evidence. Only an anecdote.
