@Linkinsoldier @barczek @signalapp @Mer__edith Shit happens. What I find worrying is how Whisper Systems reacted to when Daniel told them what he found.

@barczek @signalapp @Mer__edith That's why "generate link previews" is turned off by default & has a warning about it being insecure for exactly this reason when you go to turn it on. Every secure messenger I have used has had this as an option that is disabled by default & shows a warning on enabling it. If you worry about link previews so much but really want to have them, don't talk to people you don't know over any messenger, or use a proxy of some sort such as a VPN or TOR. The only way Signal could "fix" this would be to decrypt messages on its servers, scan them for links, & generate the previews serverside. That is not possible to do securely because it would rely on Signal decrypting your messages in the middle, & the point of Signal is for messages to only be readable by the sender & recipient.
