Ugh wtf so I need a Google account on Android? That's not going to happen.

For an org that pretends to care about privacy you'd imagine there'd be a way to avoid, you know, the biggest privacy invader on the planet.

Just allow monero payments or something. Alongside Google play for the sheep that want to use that.

Are you being hyperbolic, or do you really consider Google the worst with regards to privacy.

Hopefully they eventually make a way to pay without it.

googles obligation to hand out all account linked info notwithstanding, one may still create google accounts without associating a phone number, by doing so on old android versions. signal does however explicitly force credit card info here, thus providing direct individual traceability ..
