  @LydiaMoynihan I can't help but feel like sovereign AI will be like using @signalapp or a VPN, something savvy people care about while consumers in general just won't be bothered to think thru Might be something corporates buy into tho. I could buy that.

  @signalapp I’m having issue creating an acct, why?

  @signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.

  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.

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Take the phone away from the kids if they’re not trustworthy. Problem solved.

  @privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization

  @signalapp I know it's not a thing, because you seem like normal people with morals. But it would be terrible if you happened to have a data breach that showed all the private chats our government is having.

  Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

  @signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included

  @spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.

  @chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?

  @RichAzzopardi @NYCMayor @signalapp If it leads to a more effective dissemination of information among the populace, I see zero issue with this. But keep trying Rich, maybe one day you’ll be able to justify all the terrible crap you pumped out during the campaign. Probably not.

  @signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages

  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.

  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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.

  @signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

  @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

  @FreedomofPress @signalapp It's very odd that you don't help promote apps that are even more secure than Signal like @SimpleXChat why is that?

  Deus (@deuslexic) reported 60 minutes ago

  Signal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?
