This now opens up a backdoor for hackers. I use to boast how secure Signal was. Obviously the developers of Signal had long term plans to monetize their once highly secure communication service? What do we expect for Free anyway? Third party advertising has now become a security concern.
Though no communication service is bullet proof, adding an additional layer of script to monetize Signal, in my opinion opens up a serious security breach that will eventually be exploited by hackers. Signal is not the only game in town. It is a nightmare trying to move the cursor to where you want it, or to highlight a specific section of your message. If i try to move it further than that, the window just jumps back to the area where it is currently located and moves it to some random location nearby.
Highlighting a portion of your message is impossible; it jumps from one end of the message to the other and will not allow you to scroll slowly to where you want to stop highlighting. Lots of features Gify, stickers, reacts, self destructing messages , but it requires you to give out your phone number to everyone you talk to, does not allow specifying a different server, and beyond those privacy concerns, it has gone downhill lately in terms of usability and security as well.
Private keys are sent through the server to enable moving from one device to another. Signal used to store private keys in hardware and it was impossible to export them. This ensured that nobody could ever covertly get your key. They removed this security protection and do not even provide an option to use the more secure key storage. The Signal developers could have enabled a smooth device transfer and kept the keys in hardware by having the old key sign the new one so others will 1.
The Signal developers decided against this.
