Any proof of this or just conjecture? (honest question not an insult or challenge.)
I already posted my reasoning. The fact that it requires a phone number should be enough to make you not use it. There’s something unappealing about entrusting your identity on a secure online service (one that prides itself on immunity to surveillance) to a cryptographic chip that must by law be registered with a central authority so it can keep tabs on you via that same chip.
Fair enough. Have an upvote.
