Signal's CEO Just Hacked the Cops' Favorite Phone Cracking Tool
My 65 year old mother and I use Signal as we live across the planet from each other.<p>She's due for a new phone soon, and the cell companies use Cellebrite to transfer data from one phone to another.<p>She will almost certainly want them to do it as I'm not there to help her in person.<p>What happens when Signal shards to her device and uses it as a weapon against the machine and her phone is bricked or she's liable for the machine's costs or our entire history is deleted or something just as destructive?<p>Please don't force your threat model down our throats. Your hacktivism is not my hacktivism. This shit better be opt-in.
