Yet the developer is world famous for his security work, not for something like inventing Facebook for Russians. Are you sure you can handle 100% anonymous connection to servers of apps that could at any time identify you based on your IP?

I am not trying to discuss who is the developer, I just wanted to say that you cannot require a phone number and talk about privacy at the same time. Phone number discloses your location and identity.
IP address is much easier to hide, for example by using a VPN.
