I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    They could, but again, its easier to detect.

    But if we are already under the assumption that Pegasus is so sophisiticated that it’s un-detectable. Its possible all this privacy talk is futile and they already have access to every device, which means Graphene OS is also pointless.

    I honestly don’t know. If you are planning any anti-government activities, the only way to be totally safe is to not carry a smartphone (and obviously wear a mask to conceal your identity and all that) and use One Time Pad encryption and deaddrops for communications.
