 1. _How SimpleX can deliver messages without any user identifiers?_ See [v2 release annoucement](./blog/20220511-simplex-chat-v2-images-files.md#the-first-messaging-platform-without-user-identifiers) explaining how SimpleX works.
 
-2. _Why should I not just use Signal?_ This [post](https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/master/why_not_signal.md) shows why Signal cannot be considered a private messenger. Signal is a centralised platform that uses phone numbers to identify its users and their contacts.
+2. _Why should I not just use Signal?_ Signal is a centralised platform that uses phone numbers to identify its users and their contacts. It means that while the content of your messages on Signal is protected with robust end-to-end encryption, there is a large amount of meta-data visible to Signal - who you talk with and when.
 
 3. _How is it different from Matrix, Session, Ricochet, Cwtch, etc., that also don't require user identites?_ Although these platforms do not require a _real identity_, they do rely on anonymous user identities to deliver messages – it can be, for example, an identity key or a random number. Using a persistent user identity, even anonymous, creates a risk that user's connection graph becomes known to the observers and/or service providers, and it can lead to de-anonymizing some users. If the same user profile is used to connect to two different people via any messenger other than SimpleX, these two people can confirm if they are connected to the same person - they would use the same user identifier in the messages. With SimpleX there is no meta-data in common between your conversations with different contacts - the quality that no other messaging platform has.
