They released on Facebook a statement to this article: https://www.facebook.com/bitcoin.de/posts/1621138617927372

> The protection of our unscrupulous customers and their bitcoins is more important to us than the protection of the data of offenders.

Another interesseting thing:

> We only issue data from customers to investigating authorities if they can inquire in writing in specific cases and can demonstrate a legitimate interest in specific criminal offenses. This has always been the case from our point of view.

Big question here: So they've done it several times?

Take a look at Kotlin https://kotlinlang.org/ I know there is also Scala and other JVM languages. But I'm also an Android developer and Kotlin works really fine with Android-Studio (both from JetBrains).

I made it working: 1. Clone the Signal-Desktop Repo 2. Edit the File: "js/background.js" Line 56 SERVER_URL to 'https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org' and Line 57 ATTACHMENT_SERVER_URL to 'https://whispersystems-textsecure-attachments.s3.amazonaws.c... and save it 3. Open chrome://extensions/ 4. Activate Developer mode 5. Click "Load unpacked extension..." and select the Signal-Desktop directory 6. Open https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/ and accept the cert (otherwise you won't see the qr code) 7. Scan the qr code and have fun!
