While this is good since it provides some revenue beyond donations and also simplifies data backups, I think it's kind of ridiculous that they still have not implemented a way to restore backups cross-platform (it's just left as something they plan to do in the future). Like, is it really that hard to just export and import a file in a standard format?

Nice. I hope it makes Signal suitable for public official required to archive communications.

Currently signal users probably have no backup, or use a Signal fork that support archiving in a less secure way.

Yay secure backups.

Signal is awesome! Fuck proton and their bootlicker CEO
