>This code is included by calling the createPackageContext-method together with the flags CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE and CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY.

Glad someone points out the technical details of why many people had doubts about signal. Unfortunately, Moxie will dismiss it, and his following will claim "it affects other apps too" as if that makes it any better. "Other apps do it too" is not the standard a "privacy" app should aim for.
