  @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

  @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 @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

  Signal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!

  @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?

  @signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.

  @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

  @signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved

  @CityofHats @signalapp I mean, only the latest version of Signal supports linking phones and Android tablets as clients, so the version is kind of obvious. And yes, I agree, this is not a security issue. It is just a sync bug.

  @signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp

  When I want to transfer data from desktop (without a camera) to mobile @signalapp, I open the desktop QR , then I select "Transfer from other device" on mobile and get another QR. What next? Scan QR by QR? Maybe you have mental problems to create such a stupid flow.

  @yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy

  @signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity

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

  Tim (@timderoode) reported 48 minutes ago

  @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  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.

  @sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents

• 
  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 52 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.

  They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

  John (@johnspaetzel) reported 57 minutes ago

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

  @evowizz @signalapp I think a majority of the issue with building a fully custom client is integration/feature parity with the official app(s). I do believe you could fork Signal and make some major improvements though, and just maintain it as a fork.

  @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

  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
