#Signal is a honeypot. Change my mind.
Most people aren't using a burner. You might use an alias on Signal, but if an irl contact has your number saved and they've ever used Facebook, Snapchat, or any other service that uploads the phone's contact list to their servers, chances are the 3-letter agencies know who you really are. Therefore, revealing your true name, as it's unlikely your irl contact will have saved you as an alias unbeknownst to them. Effectively, your normie friends inadvertently rat you out.
