Signal @signalapp
@thegrugq Huh? The article you are sharing around claims that Signal sends your phone number to people in your contacts that don't have it. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@thegrugq @0xKruzr @livebeef The receive message flow: https://t.co/bWM9SkIUSo No msg type for receiving a # and creating a contact card. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@thegrugq @0xKruzr @livebeef Here's the reg flow: https://t.co/TNEPnTaocP At no point does Alice send a msg w/ her # to all her contacts. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@thegrugq It isn't even intuitively possible. If Alice's # is sent to Bob at install, how would Bob know what contact card to put the # in? — PolitiTweet.org

Signal @signalapp
@thegrugq @0xKruzr @livebeef This blog post is simply wrong. Signal does not do this. Happy to walk you through the code if you disagree. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@tveastman @dythya @jwz Might actually be a good sign: a privacy preserving app that is so frictionless, tech people assume the worst. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@tveastman @dythya What @jwz is claiming is something else, that your # is transmitted to people who don't already know it. Simply not true. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@tveastman Notifications aren't being transmitted, it's all happening local to the device. See for more on rationale https://t.co/p9YPxokyHs — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@Theophite @violetblue Gotcha. We think that's a privacy feature. Signal's entire social graph is user-owned on your device, not a server. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@adorkablegrrl @CyberShambles @violetblue It's even less accurate than Guardian. Signal only transmits your # to contacts when you send msgs — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@Theophite @violetblue It doesn't have to, and in fact it doesn't! Signal doesn't transmit your # to any contacts unless you message them. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@autolycos @violetblue Intuitively, if their Signal auto-sent the # to you, how would your Signal have known which contact card to put it in — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@autolycos @violetblue You had their # in your contacts,likely sync'd through provider set "hidden" in your contacts app (eg gmail, g+, etc) — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@xa329 @violetblue Signal doesn't do this, it only transmits your phone number to someone if you explicitly send them a Signal message. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@darksim905 @violetblue @ageis You can look at the src to confirm. Also some intuition for why this can't be true: https://t.co/gsU579lLoH — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam To play out the scenario, let's say you have this contact in your address book as "Smithers."
Signal @signalapp
@darksim905 @violetblue @ageis You are not mistaken! Signal only transmits your phone number to someone if you send them a message. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam The only way a device running Signal can know to display "Smithers" associated with a # is if the # is already in the card. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam ...how would Signal on JWZ's device know where to put it in JWZ's AB? "Smithers?" "J Smithers?" "That asshole smithers?" etc — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam When John Smithers installs Signal, if what JWZ is saying were true and Signal was transmitting their # to everyone... — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam Someone else might have entered that contact as "J Smithers" in their AB, so that # would display as "J Smithers" in Signal. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam Signal users don't currently have "profile" information. Signal displays "Smithers" in app by looking it up by # in your AB. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz @ahalam To play out the scenario, let's say you have this contact in your address book as "Smithers." — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@conniptions Unfortunately, he's just wrong. Signal doesn't do what he's claiming it does. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@kibibu We're glad those are your expectations, they're ours too! This blog post is incorrect, Signal doesn't do that. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@philrem Signal doesn't do what he's claiming. We're surprised he took the time to make that icon but not to investigate the facts. =( — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@uplevel_payload @violetblue If you find time to investigate the contact card and confirm, might give a lot of peeps some peace of mind. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@uplevel_payload @violetblue Is it possible you don't have all contact srcs (eg gmail) visible in your address book? Could be sync'd from G+ — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@uplevel_payload @violetblue It would be news to us! Signal doesn't transmit your phone number to anyone unless you explicitly send a msg. — PolitiTweet.org
Signal @signalapp
@jwz Normally we'd reference the src, but since it *doesn't* do this there's nothing to reference. What other info would be useful? @ahalam — PolitiTweet.org
