The very fact that this is possible is a weakness of the Signal project.
It’s like saying, "Oh, the government doesn't like that Monero exists. We will shut it down, unless you start loving it".

Umm... Do you know what is happening in the UK? They started targeting devices.
So you can put SimpleX and ANY other app up your you know what.
The UK exploited the fact, iphone and most androids have LOCKED BOOTLOADERS which allows them to force users to do what they want.
If those systems had no bootloaders locked, their "law" would be bypassed on 30 seconds by patching any binary, kernel or whatever.
So there you have it a "security feature", because that's how bootloader locking was presented, was ON OUR EYES used for control.
