Signal requires a phone number, has been promoted by Fox News, and has been promoted by Jack Dorsey. That's enough to keep me from using it. Tox and Session are less convenient, but far more secure. Especially Tox. Give them a look.

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.
