    @Pandora_Delaney @MichaelAlleged @signalapp I know a few Signal devs you can ****.. but I don't think it will fix this issue... Might still be fun though.

    OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

    @signalapp And I didn't realize before this that signal had a backup service. So that's $2/mo ad-infinitum

    Best privacy service: @2FAS_com @signalapp @ProtonVPN What did I miss?

    @signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.

    @signalapp Would like to offer infrastructure security help if it’s wanted @signal

  • BrokenSerenity
    Calli Tahmo (@BrokenSerenity) reported

    @dietrichBonh @signalapp if it were actually being done right then yeah, but its not because they dont really care about that, if they did they would have listened to the many different companies and governments who told them it's unworkable and causes more security issues than it solves.

    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

    @StefanBrindusa @daily_romania @signalapp I dunno if you just didn’t listen well, or if you don’t understand the issue. Those vulnerabilities were open-source algorithms!

  • ShaswotNepal

    @signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.

    @signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

  • StasisRush
    Gurio (@StasisRush) reported

    Huh, the @signalapp ended up to be the worst possible connector for an agent bot identity. I didn’t not expect to say it, but here it goes: WhatsApp is a easier to setup if you want a messaging face for your service/platform

  • tenohtoo

    @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

  • StefanBrindusa
    Ștefan Cristian B. 🇪🇺 🏴‍☠️ (@StefanBrindusa) reported

    @blankanticensor @daily_romania @signalapp Signal is fully open source, alongside all its algorithms, and they stand unhacked - everyone is watching. If Telegram was hacked with closed-source server, it's up to them if they truly want to let the few million eyes to fix them. Only up to them, their sole choice.

  • Roy_1465

    @signalapp please fix it!

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  • tikDemonne
    TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported

    @vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity

  • SAP127001
    S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported

    @yrschrade @orithellama @signalapp You need more than that. It’s not the encryption that’s the problem with Signal, it’s the pre exposed mobile number and by extension home address

  • VijjaHolder
    Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported

    @TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

    Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

    How can i leave the groups or delete my signal account because whenever i try to do that it say network problem even i have best internet connection @signalapp

  • Krev2323
    Krev23 (@Krev2323) reported

    @signalapp The problem I have with all this **** is, it will never be used for "justice". It will only ever be used for "control". They proved it to us with the lock-downs. "YOU" got tackled, and abused by cops for trying to walk on the beach, "THEY" got to dine at restaurants,without masks

  • NCyotee
    not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported

    @aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

    @signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.

    @PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?

    Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported

    @signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.

  • ChangW30200
    常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported

    @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
