Basically Signal doesn’t clarify to users that their keyboard is quite possibly spying on them, rendering all of Signals security moot if you’re trying to steer clear of spying governments. In practice this means that Signal is completely owned for most users in China if they use their phone as Chinese users normally do.
I keep hearing people say “use signal, it’s secure” and very few people also say “and the keyboard may render all of that security useless”. Thoughts? Naomi Wu has expressed recently that she feels totally ignored in this issue. Almost as if Signal doesn’t want to discuss it.
