Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep

Jess (@theweb3jess) reported@sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
-
AinWeb3 (@AinWeb3) reported@signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.
-
Bogdan Popa 🇪🇺 (@BogdanMPopa) reported@ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone
-
Dr Bezuban Bezgul (@drbezuban) reportedHello @signalapp what is update about ur privacy breach baby? What is issue of Iphone Signal Notification Data Disclosure??
-
Shibi Payamal (@ShibiPayamal) reported@ShivAroor @telegram @signalapp Absolute stupidity, despite available information on these issues, gov still wants answers 🤡
-
Dom (@dom_de_la_rose) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?
-
Web3Privacy Now (@web3privacy) reportedGiving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.
-
AlmightyA (@AlmightyAye) reported@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.

nisten🇨🇦e/acc (@nisten) reported@privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds
-
Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reportedWhatsapp 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.
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.
-
Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@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.
-
Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reportedThey don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp
-
wanna be racer (@bitchin1283e) reported@chrisfrazier0 @Bwazenbull @signalapp Holy ****. I saw some other guy say VPN doesn't help, same for you?
-
Bomboriver (@bomboriver) reported@smspoolnet @callebtc @signalapp instead of apologising fix the system with better security
-
@overbyte@gamepad.club (@overbyte) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Parental controls have been part of mobile operating systems for years. A small amount of training would solve the problem of safeguarding and keep the onus on parents
-
not_cyotee (@NCyotee) reported@aaron0v @signalapp Simple, Signal controls your keys, and the app delivery lifecycle. Yes, it is OS, and anyone can compile and run it. For now. They systematically shut down any popular alternate builds. And they obfuscate the compiled code. You have to use their servers, so at any point they can change the underlying behavior by pushing and update. And the simple fact, if they can recover your key for you, you have no guarantee they can't recover your key for themselves. Matrix allows any client. You control your key. No recovery. If you lose your key, you lose access to all your old messages.

ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@tenohtoo) reported@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
-
Sa'id al Athari (@SaidAlAthari) reported@_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice
-
Mark12-17 ✝️🇮🇱 🇺🇸 (@Mark1217000) reported@signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages
-
MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
Abhishek Puri (@anubandhsutra) reported@durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@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.
-
JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported@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
-
Stephen Ballion (@mountainofspoon) reported@femalepencil Because it’s owned by @Meta which is a terrible company - try @signalapp
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
