  @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. 🙏

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.

  @chardidathing @signalapp I can see why, although having a fork has some limitations. How would would I keep? How much would I change? If I start forking and just change most of it, it's as good as a new project anyway. Besides, the parity issue happens with the clients of most apps, even simple forks

  @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

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

  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

  @Daavya_vaishnav @signalapp Signal already wins on privacy and the UI is much better than many people expect. The harder problem is replacing Telegram’s bots, channels, and community infrastructure.

  @signalapp no repro matters but listed checked versions would help teams close noisy incident queues

  @Pandora_Delaney @ArtirKel @signalapp hmm yeah that does sound like a bug perhaps file a bug report and hope that the next update would fix? (sorry idk anyone at signal)

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

  @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 @signalapp please keep pushing against government dystopia in the UK and EU. Please keep informing the public of harmful policy decisions from government like this. Please pull your services from any dystopian jurisdiction to help shed light on the issue Please do not capitulate

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

  Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported 29 minutes ago

  ✅ @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.”

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

  @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.

  is AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

  @signalapp The problem I have with all this **** is, it will never be used for "justice". It will only ever be used for "control". They proved it to us with the lock-downs. "YOU" got tackled, and abused by cops for trying to walk on the beach, "THEY" got to dine at restaurants,without masks

  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.

  @signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.

  @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.

  JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported 48 minutes ago

  @carolecadwalla @signalapp Musk is a problem that needs to be dealt with entirely separately from protecting children from material our society has decided to bar them from. Musk and his like are a separate problem we MUST deal with anyhow. Using them as an excuse to avoid helping kids is absurd

  Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported 50 minutes ago

  @Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.

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

  GG (@IamRedListed) reported 55 minutes ago

  @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?

  @vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity

  @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp
