What user info is there to harvest besides a throwaway e-mail? 99% of people will either run lightning through a custodian, or with some “node on the phone + LSP” wallet. I’d like to know what more information WOS is getting vs what ACINQ (Phoenix) is getting, because I think it’s very similar (or even worse in the case of ACINQ if you try to open direct channels)

The current version of Phoenix offers no advantage regarding privacy over existing, hosted, custodial wallets. We (ACINQ) know the final destination and amount of payments.
