@signalapp They shut your account down because you're Signal and did those things, not because you did those things.

@signalapp @martyswant Again if that's the case show us the actual rejected ads. These screenshots are functionally meaningless as an account suspension can happen for loads of reasons and you 100% have the ability to drill down to the ad level and show the individually rejected creative.

@signalapp Please fix message delivery for existing users first, along with phone call quality and experience.

@signalapp @Linuzifer It would be a shame if there was a tool where everyone could easily sign up and spend a few bucks with their own account, so that Ad companies would need to shut down many different accounts…

@followingstaars @disclosetv @signalapp It’s not private in my mind…it’s massive and all encompassing and it is publicly traded. Corporations can not be omnipotent in the name of “private”…they are not. Being part of an #oligopoly is still an #antitrust issue.

@signalapp Start of a background battle surfacing on frontend display. You guys may opt for pro dialogue - but turn down any offers from Mark, pls

@Akshay_Pathak1 @signalapp Without ads these businesses die eventually. May be premium services or crowd funding might help

@signalapp Can’t you shut down Zuck’s @signalapp account? 👀

@iPlunks @signalapp The pin part is optional, although the reminder is a bit intrusive, but is only there to help users not forget, which I'm sure they would without this feature, unless you use the same pin for everything, or write them down (in case you didn't know these are security risks).

@signalapp The problem isn't that the picture of what's happening is hazy and opaque, the problem is that the vast majority of people simply don't care their data is being collected.

@signalapp You're not clear on how they closed down the account. Did they accuse you of violating terms ? Was it an arbitrary decision on their part ? Did they give reasons anyway ?

@cillic @signalapp Did they fix the “notify everyone you joined” bug yet?
-
Brooks Lawson
(@Brooks_Lawson1) reported
@signalapp @martyswant I have no doubt they did but it seems Facebook will regularly shut down accounts seemingly at random and without explanation. You may have triggered some sort of automatic flag or something. They'll also restore said accounts if you protest the decision, also without explanation.

@signalapp My signal app is down... what do I do? I don't want to lose everything if I uninstall and reload. Please advise.

@WildBunnyArts @signalapp @Hernstburgler You keep missing it totally. These companies could try any random number or browse numbers, it's not how they got it, the problem! It's what signal allows them to do with it! The app knows my contacts and could check if sender is know before displaying a message.

@signalapp The only thing I don’t get is signal isn’t a replacement for FB. So it makes me freaked out but how does texting with a private app help?

@WolfieChristl @signalapp @moxie It is sad. However, I went through the pain of securing funding for an open source project. It took a decade for our investments to start paying back. OSS development funding is still a question without a clear answer, leading to problems like this one.

Tallulah van der Made
(@tallulahlucy) reported
@signalapp Your ad account was shut down because a number of the words you used in the pics were recognised as breaking the community standards and a large number of ads were disapproved at the same time. They weren't ever seen by a human. If you appealed you'd prob be reinstated.

@disclosetv @signalapp So they shut down the truth? Imagine my shock. 😱

@signalapp @Kantrowitz 1/2: These screenshots are from early March, when the ad account was briefly disabled for a few days due to an unrelated payments issue.

@JeromySonne @signalapp @Kantrowitz Indeed. They can shoot down doubt of this being perceived as a PR Stunt with those.

@signalapp Hi, I contacted your tech team on 18/4 about an issue with making a backup of Signal on my old phone. Have only received an automated reply. Please can you ask them to respond.

@Justintimeswag @Web3Coach @signalapp It's a massive problem if you have an online business. A source of significant mental discomfort is that I feel I have to keep the Instagram app so customers can reach me.

(@candidlywatchi1) reported
@rani_yachts @disclosetv @signalapp Which is why the government funded it through “private” venture capital firms. If I’m not mistaken the army has developed something like Facebook, but shut it down as Facebook was being launched i.e. the testing phase was complete.

@signalapp has recently gained a flood of new users after Facebook-owned WhatsApp announced new terms of service that would allow it to share user profile data with Facebook in some circumstances. The new terms are due to take effect on May 15.

@disclosetv @Tr00peRR @signalapp Google and Apple also use a service called XMODE, it tracks users' locations, and it gets sold to anyone who wants it; the biggest buyer of location data is the US army.
