  "textContent": "I agree this should be fixed but I personally don’t like the way OP wrote this. Maybe it’s just me but it sounded more dramatic than it actually is.\n\nI’m not involved in Signals development but I can imagine there are bigger issues than this and as a Signal user I’d want them to be ranked higher and fixed first. A scenario where an attacker has to defeat encryption, the user never restarts Signal (which also means never restarting the computer) and doesn’t use Signal doesn’t sound like it’s urgent.\n\nThen again to fix this (if it’s really true) you’d probably only need a few lines of code. If I were the security researcher who has found this I’d probably write a patch myself and open a PR.",
