Yeah, probably. The fact that you use mullvad is exposed to your financial institution, but as long as mullvad doesn’t keep logs (which has been legally tested to show that they do not), I don’t think it really matters all that much for most people.

Not Lemmy, but mbin instance fedia.io doesn’t have any of that nonsense.

Does Wire still store metadata on who you message? That seems potentially more damaging than Signal’s phone number requirement, at least since the switch to being able to hide your number from everyone.
