Not to point out the obvious, but if someone uses a burner phone to initially setup their signal account, that is another big layer of privacy
Burner phones which barely exist outside USA.
Oh shit, well I had no idea. Hell, I know in China you used to easily get a burner number, but now it is restricted.. Well listen, that certainly changes the conversation.
Do you know if there are any pay-as-you-go phone plans in Europe ?
Yes, but nearly all countries require you to register the SIM cards with your government ID.
There are, but are linked to your personal ID which makes it not the same.
