  @potuz_eth @signalapp That's a fascinating proposal to decentralize and permanently fund the service.

  @sudobunni @signalapp I have the opposite problem. Everyone I know uses iMessage. And they’re not going to install an extra app that does less. They don’t even use WhatsApp. Android friends use RCS which is going encrypted to iPhone soon.

  @potuz_eth @signalapp Because it solves 0 problems.

  @potuz_eth @signalapp Blockchain aren’t built for that use case, they’d do a terrible job at it. Messaging doesn’t need a global shared state.

  @sudobunni @signalapp Tell them that Facebook is still keeping tabs and snooping on them by knowing who you frequently text and how much time/messages they spent on a contact. Also I hear the spam problem is annoying on Whatsapp similar to telegram.

  @IamTaradutt @naval @signalapp Why would this help if EU controls the app store? Or the keyboard on your device.

  Harrier (@HarrieRobins) reported 13 minutes ago

  @Altismus @tripledoublebtc @signalapp This means you cannot host your own services anymore, every service runs through big companies which are all state controlled. Everything you do is scanned and used and you simply become a product.

  @DiptiiDecoded @signalapp Adoption will be a problem because it seems they are relying on word of mouth and with @naval today tweeting about it should get them some attention at global level.

  @bobpickettsr @signalapp In my opinion, they have been led down the wrong path, but are capable of correcting mistakes.

  Once cloud backup gets merged into the main iOS app and you can swap platforms easily, I’ll be happy to a) pay for storage and b) donate monthly to @signalapp to support their work. They’ll finally have solved the primary problem preventing me from ever suggesting it to people.

  @sudobunni @signalapp You either paranoid them about Meta's tracking or that @signalapp is really simple and easy to setup. I am not sure if they have solved not requiring a phone number issue but you can also use it on desktop without connected to your phone.

  @cso4x @PawelEdi @signalapp Again - custom roms and root will still allow it. Just like Jailbroken iPhone can sideload with zero issue. bless you sweet summer child for doubting the android community.

  ★ STMAN ★ 🏳️‍🌈 (@stmanfr) reported 21 minutes ago

  @EstelleDeMarco @signalapp ChatControl is not a key issue. Big issues are like we have no way to be sure or to enforce the Signal App running on a smartphone is the real Signal App, and not a fake one masquerading as the real one. Or like we have no control over what's inside any OS or Integrated Circuits.

  @cryptonator1337 @signalapp @echo_pbreyer Signal has stated that it would rather allow the EU to block Signal than comply with the bill. If we truly want to help put an end to this, more messengers should also refuse to comply. Fortunately, our government (the Dutch government) has some opposition to this draconian bill.

  the crin 🔞(commission open) (@The_Crysss) reported 31 minutes ago

  @SimpleXChat @signalapp That's the problem that many tell me, that today's internet is very centralized and that allows them to apply rules that apply to everyone automatically. while services that are more decentralized are more difficult to make the same rules apply everywhere.

  @Altismus @signalapp It's order of magnitude worst than the current problem.

• 
  Francesco Graniglia (@fgraniglia) reported 33 minutes ago

  @naval @signalapp The problem is that if Chat Control becomes a reality, Signal would leave the European Union.

  @bobpickettsr @signalapp What is the FBI supposed to do? Go after the CIA? Who is gonna fix the distorted mess?

  Farhad Shakiba (@plutoprime) reported 38 minutes ago

  @naval @UpG00SE @signalapp Unless you build and deploy the app yourself, it's not much of a guard. Who audits the auditors? Self-hosted, self-deployed, self-audited. Impractical now, but one must define the problem before making the impractical practical.

  @HanifCarroll @Altismus @signalapp We learned in WWII that there is no 'educating' a German out of fascism. "I see no issue" is not undecided.

• 
  Estelle De Marco (@EstelleDeMarco) reported 40 minutes ago

  @stmanfr @signalapp I don't see where there is a lie. The issue with Chat control is to know wether we will still be able to fight illegal gov velleities using remaining counter powers, or if we will accept that such surveillance becomes legal.

  Rohit DM (@spiceb1ts) reported 43 minutes ago

  @priteshlakhani @signalapp The biggest problem I have with @signalapp is that, chat won't sync. If I log into the web/desktop then it won't show all the old messages! They can give us the ability to create our own server like BBM and solve this. Otherwise it's pretty good.

  @lukomski_sebito @signalapp Mass surveillance has already happened. All service providers have to keep your search data and other details for 1 year

• 
  Nyx (@NyxXeres) reported 50 minutes ago

  @Altismus @signalapp No, 2 problems, when it comes to a back door, every single historical precedent was abused by hackers, lawful intercept protocol was infiltrated for years. Next, if that is your excuse, allow everyone to check all your messages, photos and every aspect of your private life.

  Don't Blame the Voice (@DontBlameTheVo1) reported 51 minutes ago

  @HKilset @Altismus @signalapp The US is a Constitutional Republic. Not a democracy. If you don't vote on issues but vote on representatives who vote on issues you're not a democracy. Understand fundamental differences, please. Totalitarianism is coming and you will not be spared from its wrath. I feel sorry for you.

  @naval @signalapp Recommending the app that's already promising to shut down in Europe if the law passes is a curious recommendation to make in response to concerns about the same law.
