That article has a serious blind-spot on Signal. Sealed-sender is mostly meaningless to conceal metadata if it runs over a centralized platform (as a compromised central server can easily derive the social graph from basic timing analysis) and the apologist stance on requiring a phone number is just cringe worthy.
