First question that pops up:
Why the hell is anyone allowed to pose as something similar as „Signal support“?
Second: How is such an organisation allowed to use a system
Like Signal? How does Signal apply to the legal needs of such Orgs? It seems that there are some serious issues here because the told features of Signal stand in contrast to legal needs (audits?), but Im no expert in this topic.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @signalapp To the first question: signal does not have access to your profile name or profile picture.

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall @signalapp You can make stuff auditable by having the conversations in a group chat that includes an "audit department" account. I think the US govt even has a forked version of the Signal client app that does something like this automatically.
