    @signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • FrOSo49
    Fr.O So (@FrOSo49) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco Not sure the main problem about notifications is solved

    @signalapp Why am I unable to complete the set up of Signal on my new Android OnePlus 15 phone? No promised verification code to my number ever comes. I deleted my Signal account on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, reinstalled Signal on my new phone all to no avail. Any help?

    @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  • MelvinDaEnigma

    @signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?

    @topicswithatee @signalapp Stop giving kids smart phones Problem solved It’s on the lazy *** parents

  • dietrichBonh
    Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported

    @signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks If your child is seeing porn on your phone, fix your life. If your child is seeing porn on their device, you're failing your child.

    @signalapp @404mediaco Did they even show proof or can someone see if Apple did fix it or did they lie about the fix too

  • TriGremlin

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

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

  • jsonsackey
    Jason Sackey (@jsonsackey) reported

    @oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.

  • privacylawyer

    @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.

  • SpritzChat
    Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported

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

  • Rob1Ham
    Rob Hamilton (@Rob1Ham) reported

    @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

  • georgebernhard
    Götz von Berlichingen #FBPE (@georgebernhard) reported

    @The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.

  • notesnook
    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.

  • Bitchard11
    Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported

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

  • tenohtoo
    ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@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

  • DrHassdenteufel
    Herr Doktor Haßdenteufel, nicht Frau Jackson (@DrHassdenteufel) reported

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

  • PaulSmithDM
    Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported

    @bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful

  • 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.

  • Krev2323
    Krev23 (@Krev2323) reported

    @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

  • 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.

  • wangubaagu
    信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reported

    @fedora I just started using Fedora (thank you!), and I'm wondering if there is a safe, secure way to install Signal Desktop @signalapp? Do you have an issue with Signal?

  • TristandeAlwis
    Tristan 🦦 (@TristandeAlwis) reported

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

  • PawelNotts
    PawelNotts (@PawelNotts) reported

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

  • TashiTushe
    pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported

    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

  • palaashatri
    Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported

    @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.
