@vieuxrenard @signalapp This is because a) a profiles name and image is stored and send encrypted and cannot be accessed. b) you'll never catch every last fishy name/image and if a user thinks it's impossible for users to name themselves like that, the user will be more likely to trust "Signal Sυpport" and won't notice that this is not an "u" but "υ" (Greek upsilon). TLDR: Prohibition of some problematic profile names won't make it harder for attackers.
