Yes, this isn't your average "junior engineer introduces minor bug, exposes volnerability" type of problem, this is very clearly "we know very well this is terrible but we're selling it using a bunch of buzzwords, so we couldn't care less"...

Quite frankly, their threats of legal action for a very responsible disclosure and post-mortem for future reference tells you all you need to know, they don’t give two shits about privacy/security
Are you asking who believes that signal is the gold standard? Other encrypted chat services implement "the signal protocol" now, so... if not gold, it's at least standard.
Great write-up.

And nobody really knew what the app is doing :D~~___~~
