Grand jury subpoena for Signal user data, Central District of California
What's missing is a way to pin web apps so that you always get the previous version (and can opt in to subsequent versions after checking their hash from a trusted source).
There is a clever way of doing this, using a bookmarklet, a dataURI, and SRI, but the UX isn't great.[0] If something like Hashlinks[1] were supported by browsers, though, this could work quite nicely.

> What about websites though?
It is possible for a web page to specify the expected hash of a script file, which the browser will enforce. This is called SRI (Subresource Integrity).[0]
Of course that still leaves the bootstrapping problem of how the page itself can be guaranteed to have a specific hash, but fortunately there is a clever hack that can be done with bookmarklets[1], or the page can just be saved and loaded/served locally.
While that works technically, the UX isn't great because the address bar won't show the domain of the remote server (although browsers seem to be hiding the address bar from the user more and more). A better solution would be for browsers to support Hashlinks[2], which would allow a bookmark to point to a remote page with fixed contents.
