If the only times you ever use secure communication methods are when you need to send sensitive data, it becomes very easy for any third party to find out which part of your communications they need to focus on. When both the sensitive and the trivial stuff is encrypted, there's a lot more work to be done, because then there is no easy starting point.

This is also not the problem, anyone can find out your phone number and add it to their contacts. The problems start when you also have them in your contacts and a third party can find out this information, and thus know you know each other. If they only find out one way, they can't possibly know whether you are in contact with each other or not.

Gebruik gewoon XMPP en Signal ajb.
