When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place.

Edit: This only happens on Signal Desktop. If I try to forward a message on Android it only shows my Contacts. And none of these unkown ones.

    The huge red flag to me is that Signal is no longer decried as the devil of western intelligence anymore.

    Frank Figliuzzi (former FBI cointel) and Chuck Rosenberg (former DEA admin) used to rail on about all of the dangers posed by Signal, but I haven’t heard an unkind word in over a couple years now.

      French authorities consider it a “terrorist app”. Louis Rossmann made a video about it. It was in some court case but at this point I don’t remember whether it was a local court or higher and frankly don’t care enough to check.
