Can someone explain how this is even possible with a service like Signal? I was under the impression that encrypted messages can't be intercepted.
Extremely frustrating either way, I hate constantly having to manage different messaging services with different people and I'd really like to not have to add one more if signal becomes compromised.
It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.
Anything on the signal protocol could have an infected cilent be delivered, or backdoor server side by providing the wrong keys.
Facebook might comply. Would guess that Signal would refuse and would be hit by some absurd fee like 100mil a day for not complying and be forced to pull their services out of the UK.
