  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)

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

  #OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported 5 minutes ago

  @Krev2323 @signalapp They got exemptions for travel too - every time we got cases down someone would bring a new case in. With proper infection control alpha would have stayed in the UK, delta in India & omicron in African countries (S. Africa sequences unlike its neighbours)

  @Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.

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

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

• 
  Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported 11 minutes ago

  @signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.

  TIL if your iPhone storage is almost full, Signal bricks itself. Make your backups, folks. (Also, @signalapp please fix!)

  @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Think for a bit. Age verification? Ok, no big problem, don’t like it, but acceptable. Now… how do you think you detect unsafe content ***? Tech magic? Smartphone witch? Every byte of your mobile phone must go to some server, get unencrypted and scanned. You fine with this?

  @signalapp Hey, signal is not working in India. The website shows no outage, can you look into it?

  Rob Hamilton (@Rob1Ham) reported 17 minutes ago

  @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

• 
  Craig Stevens (@craig100) reported 17 minutes ago

  @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.

  @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.

  Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported 27 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV

  @nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time

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

  @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

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

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

  @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.

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

• 
  Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported 46 minutes ago

  @signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.

  Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported 46 minutes ago

  @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

  @carolecadwalla @signalapp likewise locking down childrens devices and web access is the job of parents

  Grey Observer (@JohnAsser65014) reported 48 minutes ago

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Help the parents have and use tools, don't design clunky sector wide failures.

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?

  BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 52 minutes ago

  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!

  @chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?

  @signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.
