(@Lurkars) reported
@signalapp found no other way to contact: I am unable to register a new phone. Entering number, there comes captcha to verify I am human. Afterwards I have to confirm the number again. Then I get error about too many attempts and that I have to wait. After wait, repeat the above

@sovereignbrah @signalapp They have always been watching. Now that they are switching to A.I. controlling everything, and yes that is a thing, it is not a conspiracy theory, look it up. We are getting a real SKYNET. We are in real trouble.

@IWN_LX @signalapp @WhatsApp It is not the chatting app’s responsibility to edit users’ (metadata) files. Calling for a added feature, to be able to do that, sure. Expecting such editing in the background by default opens the door to also “altering” by default, and that opens the door to all sort of issues.

With every piece of software, there is a trade-off between security and usability. @SignalApp used to hit the balance just right on Android, where you could use it for encrypted messages and SMS, and it would tell you which it was. They ended that feature today. Terrible move.

@signalapp @mer__edith There are ways to handle this issues. Put kids of communication devices under surveillance, like "Signal for Kids", that too via parents only & not via government watch. This blanket approch to read everyone's communication under "kids safety" excuse is wrong

@rexmilesmontego @signalapp Never had a problem that can't be remedied. If the spin keeps going, quit the app on desktop or swipe up on mobile device, then restart and the massages go through.

@filipebatt @mer__edith @signalapp It's not an issue for me, I can run a vpn, spoof location etc but the people I've encouraged to use it won't when WhatsApp is available we're not spies just people using an app and if signal block at device level that would make it even harder.

@Saqqara @mer__edith @signalapp They’ll ‘officially’ withdraw from the UK market, while giving instructions on how to circumvent that. That’s my takeaway from the article anyway. It’s a way to protect themselves legally, since they won’t technically be providing the service anymore

@aginnt @signalapp Illusions that encryption is safe for privacy. They can unencrypt, capture via backdoors etc. They can hack remotely into phones - Israeli tech co sells that service.

@mer__edith @badiucao @signalapp Hello. I can not install signal on Linux following all steps on site. Maybe there's some error in step #2. Thanks

@sovereignbrah @signalapp The problem with signal is that it also sends normal sms so tucker could have sent a normal sms without knowing it and obviously that's not secure. Signal should remove sms functionality completely.

@mer__edith @signalapp The immediate issue being depending hard on Google Play Services and not posting a working, official version of Signal to F-Droid?

(@joshmyers84) reported
@sovereignbrah @signalapp i'm just surprised that tucker isn't using intermediaries and using tails os. that would help alleviate a lot of snooping from agencies right there. obviously, once signal gets to intended party, it's then out in the open.

@CryptoTweetie @signalapp @session_app To be fair, Signal UX is super smooth, while Session still has all these random glitches and some don't make me feel very comfortable (e.g., disappearing messages not working reliably) ... Also, how Sybil resistant is it where token prices are now?

@signalapp is this also a support chat for signal? Because we’re having major problems with signal and it’s our only way to currently communicate with my sister overseas.

@mer__edith @signalapp Depending hard on Google Play Services and not posting an app on F-Droid are problems that are eminently solvable by Signal. As is using weird and non-functional CAPTCHAs

Still me
(@Saqqara) reported
@filipebatt @mer__edith @signalapp They're not technically providing a service now, it's an app you download and the servers could be anywhere surely. The big problem here is I keep asking and they're not saying, I keep getting theories from other people when I need something concrete from them.

@signalapp @mer__edith The problem with this bill is that if the UK goes forward with this, the EU will follow with another bill equal to this one. We'll have to fight this everyway we can. E2EE has to win. Privacy has to win.

@signalapp well it's happened. My signal contact list just dropped from 20+ to 4. This is not how you help make secure messaging. What an own goal.

@signalapp I would love to again but two points to make it easier: 1/ have a Canadian charity presence for Signal so our donations here can be higher . I can help. 2/ Use Paypal or other easy payment. No entering a CC please.

@signalapp counting hitting the skip button as a failed account PIN attempt is a really weird and terrible thing to do. Super neat that I can't get messages on my phone for a week now

@signalapp @mer__edith Signal will be vulnerable to state intercept demands until it becomes open service. Having an open source client is no longer enough. The user has to be in direct control of their contact catalog and have the ability to switch services without penalty.

@encorelautre @mer__edith @signalapp Each and every non-niche, non-dark web service provider will always comply with lawful data requests, I understand your tweet as belief that they will just refuse regulatory compliance? The issue is to not have much data in the first place and to not market otherwise if you do
