If you aren't comfortable broadcasting it, then maybe take measures so that it doesn't get to that point. Privacy is not by default, ever

To quote Signal themselves:

> Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time [1]

While I don't consider this a critical bug requiring an immediate technical remediation from Signal, this should definitely be either fixed or called out in the documentation at some point.
