Just to clarify, signal is open source and it’s code has been vetted by cryptography experts. The signal protocol is secure, it’s the user who screwed up.
Now that doesn’t excuse the illegal action of using the app to avoid foia requests, but the app and it’s protocol were not the failing here.
My understanding is that it auto deletes after a short set time. I’m not saying signal is a failure of an app for personal use, I’m saying choosing it for this purpose is a fail.

You can set it up to auto delete, but that’s not the default. Either way agreed, it’s a major failing in this purpose.
