While this report is entertaining to read, I have to wonder about possible downstream repercussions of the implications within the last paragraph; if you're in police custody or worse and your Signal app contains some 'aesthetically pleasing files' that interfere with the authoritarian software, it's likely going to be your ass on the line for all sorts of charges.
Don't get me wrong, the implication is enough to discredit Cellebrite, but my initial thoughts are that either this bluff gets called, or there's a non-zero risk of someone landing in even hotter water down for using Signal. Of course, this assumes that you're not already neck-deep for having encrypted data and upholding your right to privacy.

Does anyone have any other works of writing with a similar style or subject matter? This truly made my day :)
