Signal announced they have the know-how to disrupt any Cellebrite-extracted files and then likely sprinkled "poison pill" files in their data. So if a Cellebrite user was to extract data from a Signal user's phone, the data would corrupt Cellebrite's data.
This simply disrupts trust in Cellebrite. Nothing illegal. All Moxie is saying is "Don't want potentially corrupted data? Don't use Cellebrite." It absolutely is retribution for Cellebrite coming at Signal.
- upofadown 5y agoI guess this is different in the USA, but in a lot of places, spreading FUD in an attempt to harm a business could be considered defamatory. It might not even matter if what is being said is true if there is no positive social purpose to the statements.

Ensuring not one innocent gets steamrolled by the judicial system is a positive social purpose. Whether or not you consider it compelling enough to be worth it is another question. I unwaveringly acknowledge the positive value to what he has done. If you can't come out and prove there is nothing dirty or worthy of doubt with the tools you're using to strip someone of their freedom and liberty, you have no business using it. Period. As a society, we've compromised on a high standard for this far too long.
