Seems more like a core OS issue than something Signal specific. iOS at least disables keyboard apps' network access by default, Android users seem to be screwed (as usual) unless they root the phone and install a firewall..
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoI think the issue is that Naomi is seeking official recognition of this system flaw but signal and moxie have not done so in response to her questions. I think “signal creator acknowledges that signal is not always secure” would be a headline that would help non technical people understand this system flaw.
- izacus 6y agoIt would also be grossly misleading and would put responsibility on Signal for components they have no business dealing with. Non-technical people would just read "Signal isn't secure" which is BS. iMessage isn't insecure either because you can connect a compromised USB keyboard to your Mac.
- orestarod 6y agoWhy do you say that. You are free to block any app on Android from accessing the internet, including keyboards, from the standard Android settings, no root or anything.
