    @smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

    @durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.

    @enteio its great to see to companies being honest, i dont think they had any strong encryption in the first place but its sad that everything out there have some issues like slow speed, ui/ux bugs, no proper business model, etc except for @signalapp , but needs number to signup

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

    @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

    @akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

    @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.

  • mpost_io
    Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported

    ✅ @Apple has rolled out a software fix to address a flaw that stored notifications marked for deletion on the device. This vulnerability allowed the @FBI to read deleted messages in @signalapp. The update comes weeks after it was revealed that the agency managed to forensically extract copies of incoming #Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone in connection with an attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center facility. This was possible even after the app had been deleted, by exploiting the fact that copies of message content were stored in the device’s push notification database. Signal’s developers thanked Apple for its “quick action and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue.”

    @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?

  • DustinFinn
    Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reported

    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.

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

    @signalapp Can you please fix the erratic behavior of Signal when registering with a +234 number? pleaseee

    @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.

    Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reported

    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.

    @fedora I just started using Fedora (thank you!), and I'm wondering if there is a safe, secure way to install Signal Desktop @signalapp? Do you have an issue with Signal?

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks I take all of them. You’re all terrible ******* parents and judges of what’s good for kids.

    Marina (@marna_li) reported

    @signalapp All these policies make it seem like you are guilty until proven innocent. I have no problems if individual providers choose to scan for prohibited content, but when it's pushed by the government down to the implementation-level then it's control and mass-surveillance.

    @signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.

    @signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.

    My mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.

    @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.
