Doesn't matter that messages are empty. Metadata. Leaks time, app ID, receiver device IDs, and is PII with associated G data

Can you see how "Google knows when a background app receives a wakeup" is very different from "Signal hands your identity to Google?"

and the combo of 1) refusing 3rd party client support, and 2) not providing a G-free APK leaves many out in the cold

We don't feel we can support clients out of our control, but we'd love it if you proved us wrong. Let us know if we can help w/ setup

I don't think anyone would expect you to actively support alternate clients, but letting them on the network is a good start

Having them on the network is supporting them. If our users are communicating with them, then when they break our users are effected.

However, we'd love to be proven wrong. The source is available, so feel free to do it differently if you disagree.

You conveniently version libsignal-protocol-java for compatibility (and in theory interoperability). Isn't that enough?
