GG (@IamRedListed) reported@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?

TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported@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
-
Sani (@mostlysani) reported@signalapp i’m not able to login or subscribe as a new user after changing my phone
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reportedSignal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.
-
Alan (@Alan79192519) reported@signalapp If they force you, pull your service from the uk - this will send a powerful message. I wish apple would do the same thing ie shut off all iPhones - it would make people wake up and apple can afford to
-
Nemesis (@lov24751) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. 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
-
Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported@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
-
Liz Mair (@LizMair) reported@signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
Durango (@Durango4571) reported@signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be implemented through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
शाश्वोत ढुंगाना🇳🇵☭ (@ShaswotNepal) reported@signalapp @404mediaco SMS Provider is down for Nepal. i am unable to log in to new device. fix it ASAP.
-
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.
-
🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported@TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content
-
Crazibeat | Mobile Dev (@crazibeat1) reported@KhalidWarsa @signalapp Damn, the factory reset part is a problem 🥲
-
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
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Shibi Payamal (@ShibiPayamal) reported@ShivAroor @telegram @signalapp Absolute stupidity, despite available information on these issues, gov still wants answers 🤡
-
#OLSX BackOffice (@OccupyNN) reported@Krev2323 @signalapp They got exemptions for travel too - every time we got cases down someone would bring a new case in. With proper infection control alpha would have stayed in the UK, delta in India & omicron in African countries (S. Africa sequences unlike its neighbours)
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported@signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal 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!
-
Creka360 (@Batmanvader007) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Why is this Signal's problem? But what Starmer proposed is not a solution. Why don't you come up with something since you care so much. Maybe put all under 18 in a closed environment and monitor their every move, might work
-
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.
-
Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedOMFG - 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.
-
anthonychopra (@anthonychopra) reported@signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too
-
Notesnook (@notesnook) reported@signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.
-
Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported@nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time
