Ephemeral usernames instead of phone numbers safeguard privacy — and makes the Signal messenger app even harder to subpoena.

    Unless signal demonstrates they can’t link usernames to phone numbers, I call BS.

    Privacy by policy is great, but it’s not zero knowledge. Since they designed the system to ultimately identify people to phone numbers there will always be the potential they are logging all the username phone numbers hash lookup tables

      It`s good to always be sceptic, however I have been using and following Signal for years and so far they have not given me a reason to misstrust them. You should read their answers when some judge with 0 digital competence tries to subpoena some chat protocol.
