The example where an interview of a victim of Hurricane Ciaran, originally in French, was deepfaked to be speaking English, was pretty scary. Some people will think that it's just for convenience, but for me, it's a step too far down the slippery slope. If they were to do the same for a politician, a slight nuance in how a phrase was translated could change everything.

Interesting that it is legal to withhold mail. In many countries that would be a crime.

All the personal information you mentioned should be hashed or encrypted. For any given phone number, see how little information they have: just an account creation timestamp and a last access timestamp.

In the current Staging implementation, you pick a username (which you can change), and the app picks a two-digit suffix to your username.
