Removing SMS is the right move by Signal.
Some will criticise them, but SMS is an inherently insecure protocol. It doesn't belong in a private messenger.
It's part of a bigger problem: phone numbers are one of the greatest plagues on privacy. But people won't let go.

Phone numbers are not supposed to be a system for identity. They're legacy tech that we have come to rely on for too much.
Session's Account IDs are cryptographically generated, meaning it's mathematically yours and no one else's. No SIM swapping, no carrier surveillance, no number recycling.
Your ID belongs to you, not a telco. You control your identity from day one. This is what sovereignty over your digital identity looks like.

Anti encryption legislation undermines basic digital privacy.
📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities

Hawk Tuah recently went viral for her rant on the exposure of metadata by apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
"Researchers overlook the exfiltration of metadata by these applications, including IP addresses and phone numbers which can be accessed by corporate and state entities."

Mozilla just changed the Firefox TOS. If you're a privacy person, might be time to move off.
Community note
This is now outdated. Mozilla updated the Terms of Use to be more clear:
It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

That's why Session doesn't ask for your phone number.
That's why Session doesn't know your IP address.
Your identity belongs to you.

Messaging infrastructure must decentralize. Messages must remain end-to-end encrypted. No backdoors.
Fight Chat Control.
You cannot make society secure by making people insecure.
We all deserve privacy and security, without inevitably hackable backdoors, for our private communications.
The fact that the government officials want to exempt themselves from their own law is telling: eureporter.co/business/data/…
