Your right, they could just read any of your messages if they feel like it however. Wouldn’t you rather have a phone number associated with an unreadable account? Or no “personally identifying info (besides your entire device…)” but Wire can read and see all of what you send.
No, what I’m saying is that if Wire still sends the passwords for the encryption in plaintext to their servers, thats bad. Signal doesn’t do that afaik.
Wire doesn’t require any personally identifying data to register though.

Given that Wire uses Signal protocol, are you suggesting that e2e encryption in Signal is not secure?

I agree that would be a weird thing to do, is there a source for this?
Definitely search on your own, I was only going based off this. Could be fixed by now!
But if it was ever true, that’s again, bad. Not something you would even think of doing if your true motives are “privacy”
Yeah that’s pretty bad, and I agree that I wouldn’t trust a company that did something like that going forward.
