And why do you suppose that they're unable to record the wake events? They don't need metadata from Signal: they can make their own, which is precisely what I've been trying to say this entire time. That's enough for them to reconstruct your social graph.
Signal is seemingly built around providing the image of anonymity and security, but has glaring design flaws which negate these.
- tptacek 10y agoI'm sorry, I seem to have given the impression that I doubt your ability to play six-degrees-of-Google-breaking-Signal. I do not doubt that. You've ably demonstrated your ability.
- gkejxncnd 10y agoYou're trying to cast a blind eye to Signal leaking metadata. There's no other way to put it: Google is a known NSA collaborator and there is no valid reason to trust them with securing a private messaging app marketed to those seeking anonyminity. Your tone, not mine, is completely inappropriate for HN.
