  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

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  @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

  @PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀

  @Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground

  OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

  @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)

  So @signalapp what the play here? Can't bow down to this rule.

  @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

  @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!

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

  BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported 26 minutes ago

  Signal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!

  @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

  هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported 28 minutes ago

  @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.

  Roy (@Roy_1465) reported 31 minutes ago

  @signalapp please fix it!

• 
  Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported 33 minutes ago

  @signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it

  @ShaneAKAProp @beverleyturner @signalapp Not my problem.

  @WhatsApp I downloaded the app, created account, & created family group. I then got a message saying I am permanently banned for violating your TOS. I never even actually used it. I only signed up. Great customer service. @signalapp can you help a mom out?

• 
  Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reported 45 minutes ago

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

  @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 @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.

  @sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet

  Liran Cohen (CTV + CSFS) (@itsLIRAN) reported 54 minutes ago

  @simulx4 @signalapp I'm working on it! It's a hard problem to solve, and even with my current solution there is some metadata leakage. Some of the metadata can be obfuscated for protocols that aren't many-to-many in large numbers.

  @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

  @bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.

  @KhanAbbas201 @signalapp Its just terrible for groups.

  John (@johnspaetzel) reported 57 minutes ago

  Upgraded to the Pixel 11 Pro today and I'm happy to report that it's incredibly boring and everything just works. Fastest switchover so far, only casualty was that I couldnt instantly transfer @signalapp without paying for their backup service. So I'm out $2, but to a good cause.

  @signalapp i’m not able to login or subscribe as a new user after changing my phone

  Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app
