If your , does nothing to protect your . They use , so if you can’t see the images, you have to enable cross site cookies and give them a valid email. And if you want to contact signal about it, sending your device info via unencrypted email is the default way. This is not how privacy or work. You’re better off with iMessage. Or even watsapp! At least they don’t hand your data over to a third party captcha provider. Or send your device info via unencrypted email.

Edit: thanks to the fediverse, I was alerted that Signal can be contacted in other ways. But you have to go look for them; pressing the "get support" button in the app sends an unencrypted email with a link to your device logs. I have edited this post for accuracy.

@fastfinge @HNguyenLy Aren't they still allowing the text-based captcha? They certainly used to allow this. I know because I'm the reason it was turned on.

@simon @HNguyenLy Unfortunately, at least on iOS, tapping on the menu item for it does nothing.

@fastfinge @HNguyenLy Hmm. When I signed up for Signal I didn't have to fill out a captcha. I wonder if I could reproduce that enough to file an issue and make some noise about it. I used to have contact with a very active developer but I think he left the team. He is the reason the desktop app has so much semantic markup now, though it's still not perfect.
