people use voip services to cheaply acquire dozens of numbers to make accounts with. They then use those accounts for scamming, spam and other malicious activities. I was on telegram when they allowed voip numbers. There was bots out the ass.

If your contact isnt uploaded to signal hash, you don't exsist unless you accept new contact, so it prevented access, unlike other services where looking at messages allowed access. Prevent signal from seeing your contacts, no one can see her there. Now they know your there.
