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

    @dietrichBonh @signalapp if it were actually being done right then yeah, but its not because they dont really care about that, if they did they would have listened to the many different companies and governments who told them it's unworkable and causes more security issues than it solves.

  • SpritzChat

    @zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!

    @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

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

    @StefanBrindusa @daily_romania @signalapp I dunno if you just didn’t listen well, or if you don’t understand the issue. Those vulnerabilities were open-source algorithms!

    @signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Death sentence for ****** would help.

    @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. 🙏

    @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

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

    @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

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

    They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

  • Love_Lorn9952

    @signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.

    @signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

    David T.S. Fraser (@privacylawyer) reported

    @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.

  • marna_li
    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.

  • KRinweb3
    KR 🟨 (@KRinweb3) reported

    @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.

    Note to @signalapp @ProtonMail Can gov just spent years trying everything to attack non compliance of canna bis Seeking to shut down web sites, attack landlords with charges, shut down payment services, charge employees, take vehicles use concrete to block doors, threat letters

  • mag_restlin
    ast_pap (@mag_restlin) reported

    @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  • agaefendi_
    Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported

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