Pretty great pretext for banning Signal all around. But I'm glad they had fun.

That's my fear too, that authorities go to the app stores and frame it as an even more egregious attack on law enforcement, and that interfering with investigations is all sorts of crimes.

I don’t think Apple or Google are going to pull Signal from their app stores for this.

Do you think that holds for every country their stores operate in?

I think countries that can ban Signal and want to can ban Signal whether or not they pull stunts like this.

If you want to ban Signal you have much better arguments than “Signal might pop a shell on our Cellebrite boxes”, like “Signal makes it much harder for us to investigate things”.

I disagree, I think putting a bright "Now with malware!" sticker on the product was a bad idea

I agree with the spirit of your argument that Signal doesn’t seem to be run carefully to avoid being blocked, but I don’t think today’s thing matters really at all; it’s just fan service.

I'm still annoyed from the cryptocurrency thing so this is a way for it to spill over

I’m not happy about the coin thing either, but really Telegram is doing more to put people at risk than anything Signal has or will ever do, so I’m kind of checked out on this stuff now.

This is kind of a non-sequitur. The fact that Signal doesn't put people at risk is the reason to be angry at them for finding ways to shoot themselves in the foot, instead of being a boring and universally used messaging app

I don’t disagree, but somewhere around the coin thing I snapped a tendon somewhere in my brain and just can’t get worked up about any of this anymore. That said: I do sincerely believe this Cellebrite thing isn’t going to hurt them, so when I’m wrong, dunk on me for it.
