   @hakan_geijer Signal generates link previews on the sender side, anyway. Disabling it on your end won't make it so you don't see link previews when someone else sends it to you (unless they also have it disabled!)

   That being said, Signal VPNs link preview requests through their own servers, so the destination site's link preview that is being generated doesn't even know your own IP/metadata.

     @hakan_geijer

     I've been hearing whispers of Signal vulns for years now. This latest instance is no diferent.

     What should people do about it? Update it when there's an update.

     Is there anything else than can help? Yeah not spreading fucking useless rumours but yet here we are again and again.

     Seriously though, aside from reviewing the threat model there's not much to do and spreading rumours is more dangerous than STFUing innit or am i not thinking right?
