I'm using Signal, but after I found out that it's not as privacy-friendly as it claims, I'm uneasy about sharing my address there. I trust the person who asked for my address, but not the service. What's a safe way to share? I was thinking of something like a self-destructing pastebin, but surely you have better ideas.

But it doesn't though. That information has been subpoenaed from signal in the past. They don't have access to it to give. This is public information.

As comment in thread points out, the subpoenaed info was essentially useless.

Yeah that's exactly my point. Other guys was listing all these things the signal has stored but they really just don't want access to any of it.

IDK if this an issue on my app specifically, but it looks like you put the wrong things in the parentheses there.
