Signal's provided client for Android, while open source, depends on Google Play Services/GCM for notifications which is not open source or auditable, which in itself is a vulnerability risk. Additionally, Law enforcement has used these notifications to spy on cell phones. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-google-push-notification-surveillance/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1787589564917490059

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
