Sorry, how is this any safer for the journalist? If their phone is compromised in a way such that someone can login and control their Signal app, their chat logs are already compromised. I’m just saying there should be the ability to export those logs once you’ve logged in.
But if they don’t want to provide that, then:
1) Why does the Android app support this?
2) They should warn users of this BEFORE holding their data hostage, and not market Signal like it’s the right solution for everyone.
