Stop. And turning on/not disabling any features that are not immediately pertinent to the purpose of the app is surface area that can be attacked. You know that.
>>
>>108568667
I assume Police had a way to unlock the phone.
Perhaps the suspect gave the police his password thinking he'd be safe because he deleted Signal in time.

If police can unlock your phone and open your Signal app then it's no surprise they can read your messages.
But after deleting the Signal app you probably don't expect your messages to still be stored in some other place.

I'm more concerned with how they were able to access data within an iPhone at all. Apple said they don't help feds with iDevices owned by terrorists.

>>108568338
Ruh oh..

>>108569279
Because Signal isn't aimed as criminals, terrorists or paranoid schitzos.

It's for regular people who want to be able to communicate without corporations or government agencies listening in.
And as long as you keep your phone private your Signal messages are also private.

>>108569434
Even if they can't read the messages, Mossad still has all of the metadata and can build a tree/graph of relations between users with a single click. Spooks kill people based on metadata alone.

are you someone the spooks are likely to target to kill? no? then who gives a fuck

>>108569352
It's been a lot of fun watching leftoids get memed into doing all of their organizing on Signal. Nothing is less secure than the place people are told is safe, which causes them to speak openly and honestly. That's why they tell you it is safe to use.

Hint: nothing that is not backdoored by glowniggers gets talked about in the jew press. If everyone has heard of it, it's not secure. Simple as.

you're so fucking retarded it's unreal. i swear to god people like you must be sockpuppet strawmen
i don't want to be surveilled, so i use apps like signal. that blocks effectively all blanket interception, and the majority of targeted spyware. if you're important enough that a nation state wants you dead, they're going to get you one way or another. you're best off living in a fucking cave and using radio communications at that point

It's not an accident. Centralised notification infrastructure around which everything is constructed is an obvious method to control the system without stating that you own it. If some application becomes too free, the access can be cut at any moment. Google and Apple services are a privilege, not a right. And it would be too naive to think that any notification from any external source is not recorded as an event in the internal user activity database, and is not processed to extract valuable data.

Remember that first feature Microsoft introduced to Skype was killing direct p2p connections. Unwashed masses could not have uncontrollable channels not observed by dedicated system, spying implants were not ready for that back then.

That's less of an L on signal and more on OS programers allowing notification history to be logged in the first place. Other apps and I think even signal itself have the option to only have generic app notifications that do not display any content whatsoever, a concept even fucking Snapchat developers understand, as lazy and incompetent as they are, And yet people wonder why that app is still popular today.

Maybe his phone wasn't fully powered off (meaning that the storage wasn't fully encrypted)

If he had enabled the lockdown mode thingy, he would've been fine probably.
>>
>It's for regular people who want to be able to communicate without corporations or government agencies listening in.
If this is the intended purpose for Signal usage, then, signal isn't the right option. With Signal, the user does not own, nor, control the server.
>>108569484
I use Tor to host my own private and secure SMP/XFTP servers to use on SimpleX chat. I repurposed old laptops to run the servers and created 30 addresses to communicate privately on SimpleX chat, eliminating the use of SimpleX and Flux servers. I also repurposed an old cellphone running SimpleX client, so it acts as a home phone/landline. I plan on setting up repeater servers with the same 30 addresses at my parents' house in California, my sister's house in Florida and my brother's in Chile. Building my own "cellphone service" over TOR, so to speak. Admittedly, if the internet goes down the addresses are fucked, as with most tech nowadays. But, there is 0 reason for me to use cellphone service and rely on CIA/Mossad spy infrastructure, such as Signal, that's constantly monitored for my communication. Private, secure and encrypted and NO ONE (other than those who need to know) (my family members) knows our addresses (think of them as phone numbers from back in the day).

The old Samsung J7 stays at home and receives texts and calls IF and when I cannot be reached on my personal cellphone client. Also, pics and files are sent to the client, over TOR, to act as a mailbox, if needed. Email is and has been obsolete, not private, nor secure for decades. This is the upgrade. You do not be to be reached constantly, nor instantly, all the time. People can leave messages as they leave emails. Debotnet your lives and get back to normalcy.

Android has that exact same issue of logging people's notifications by default, probably to an even worse degree.
>>
>>108569572
It's not that it doesn't matter. What governments and corporations are doing is wrong but you also have to be realistic. Tech alone won't protect you. They don't even need to actually find anything, if you are important enough they will just say they did and what will you do then?

>>
>>108572891
Defaults exist. Some people are always going to be dissatisfied with whatever default settings a system has. You can't please everyone.

At some level, the end user needs to be responsible for using their device in a way that aligns with their goals. If you care about device security and privacy, then you should take the time to understand your OS, know its settings and defaults, and change what needs to be changed for your usecase.

I'm on GrapheneOS, and I just checked. My notification history is off. I honestly can't tell you if it was off by default, because i got this phone years ago, and the first thing I did was go through the settings and change everything that I wanted to change so the phone would work the way I need it to.

you are retarded to think grapheneos will protect you here.
don't fucking give the feds your passcode to your phone just because you deleted the app.
>>
>>108569352
You didn't address his point at all. People use the app, and expect it to avoid functionality that would limit privacy, and then it explicitly rats on people in plain text because it's own default settings is built to do so.
There is no excuse for this.

yes it fetches and decrypts the notifications on-device, so it has to be stored on the device somehow. This is an iToddler issue, not Signal.

just disable previews for notifications in iOS
its literally one switch

so if this happens I'm to blame for Signal devs lack of QA?
a simple message when you run Signal the first time and set it up would suffice
>welcome to Signal btw you need to turn off previews on your platform
is this so hard to implement?
how many millions of dollars and years do they need for this revolutionary feature to happen?

Basically, run your own server. Signal doesn't allow this, so it should be avoided.

>>108573968
Everything is backdoored, and/or a psyop. If your """""private""""" data isn't used against you, it is only because the government finds you to be irrelevant and you aren't worth risking exposing the backdoor/psyop and potentially alerting the people they care about monitoring.

On Android at least you can see it and you can disable it.
On iOS it exists, you can't access it (suprise, the glowies can) and you can't disable it.
>>
Running your own server if the only answer and solution, aside from not making Yousuf a target by doing and saying stupid shit on the phone and the internet. It eliminates 3rd party push notifications and doesn't store anything on the device a message is sent to by default, because it isn't designed with that security flaw. Everything is saved on your own personal, private and secure server with TLS and Signal protocol encryptions. Naturally, you can adjust settings to NOT save anything.
>>
>>108573878
I went to the notifications screen and clicked the history button, and the phone told me history was disabled.
>>
>>108575220
They just look the other way while tech companies who walk lockstep with them fuck up peoples lives if you know your rights. The FBI is just the government monopolizing gang violence and intimidation. All these bureaus and agencies are illegal and unconstitutional but that door closed when we allowed people who intentionally cause problems or just intentionally neglect things and straight up fucking lie to make excuses for the powercreep of the surveillance state.

>>108569469
Feed all your web browser metadata into an LLM and ask it to profile you.
Go ahead, do it. It’s all stored in SQL files on chrome, assuming you don’t wipe them regularly.

That’s the future of everyone if people don’t take metadata seriously.

Sending notifications at all should be off by default if it's a privacy/security app. Blaming the environment it's in when it can easily do something about it from the app is autistically asinine.
