Im confused .. people are debating wether it's good to track what keyboard people use but instead of tracking which keyboard peoeple use, would it be not simpler for signal to basically build their own integrated keyboard and deactivate the android default one ?
- toomuchtodo 6y agoThis is likely the result of this discussion. To fix an issue (decide to commit dev resources to develop an integrated keyboard, communicate to users the data leakage risk of using a keyboard not integrated into the app), you must first raise said issue and perform discovery.
- resynth1943 6y agoI think the word 'track' is misleading in this context. The proposal outlines various methods to detect the use of a third-party keyboard, whereas the term 'track' commonly denotes corporate surveillance. They could do that, but it would have a maintenance cost. I do think we need to find a solution to this, however, as these personalised keyboards actually _track_ what people type. That could have real-world implications.
