That would reveal all the exploits to Cellebrite, which Signal is trying to avoid.
I imagine many brother app vendors, who may or may not maintain good relationships with Signal might possibly have found a usb drive containing the relevant data on the street. (pure speculation, i don't know anything about moxie, but judging by his tone, i wouldn't be shocked)
hehe.

Now imagine if Hack Back laws actually passed... companies like Whisper Systems would have had impunity for even more shenanigans :)
