    It's kind of terrible of you to expect @signalapp to both analyze the black box and do your job of convincing law enforcement, attorneys and judges they were wrong to believe snake oil was reliable. Pick up the baton, and ask for help if you need it, but do the work!

    @signalapp I have switched to @signalapp and have moved my family and friends to it as well. Until problems started to arise. First the message notifications at emergency time were not coming up. Then the video calls constantly disconnecting. This made us unfortunately leave Signal 😕
