@cocoataster @signalapp Yeah but this is not about opinions, this is a fact, had to learn it the hard way when phone broke down and every user with lost or broken phone will lose msgs and media, all of it — imagine a bank where you lose your funds and stocks when your cashcard breaks - not safe, agree?

@signalapp Stop asking for a number to use your service. How is that private app?

@jsrailton @signalapp That lock won’t stop someone with a search warrant. Nor would help much in a might-is-right society with no laws.

@markus_ottela @signalapp Yeah well I think Signal should be the app everyone uses for chat and for that to happen it needs to give people the ability to lose their phones and still recover all their messages. A secure service ~no one uses isn’t worth anything vs one that’s 99% as secure that most use.

@jsrailton My rights aren't up for a vote. @signalapp is offering a service that defends my right to privacy. Anyone can use the source code freely, including to self-host the service for even greater freedom. I'd like to see the government equivalent of that from this 🤡

@kurtopsahl @signalapp That this was published shows incompetence by the NYT editorial staff. They let somebody who doesn't know he doesn't understand the issues say something about those issues.

@signalapp But now that you're ending support for SMS why bother. You all are really ruining a great thing. I have advocated to get several friends on signal. I know longer advocate because App usability will soon be broken. Please reconsider.

(@cocoataster) reported
@shifthappends @signalapp We need to remember Signal is about privacy, and by having our messages only in our device we lose some “convenience” and might face issues like the one you described above. Same if you were to have some written notes and they got wet and unreadable on a rainy day… **** happens

@signalapp Is there a way I can access the chat message API to read/write from it? (For instance, automating my "Notes to self" messaging from the command line). Appreciate any kind of help on this.

@signalapp But god help you if you lose your iPhone, every message you ever had, including dead loved ones, are gone forever. Please enable backup using standard app backup to iCloud if people have advanced data protection on, or create some other backup solution for iOS.

@shifthappends @cocoataster @signalapp Availability is indeed part of security, but systems that pass the puddle test come with a ton of new security problems. For example, do you want your peers with incredibly bad password-habits uploading your 1:1 conversation to the cloud?

@cocoataster @signalapp If you can name a very particular edge case user story, that does not help the overall user experience where a proper backup is needed for safety reasons

@EliasAarnio @markus_ottela @signalapp Idk if you read that but you literally copy or write down the 30 digit pass phrase/key and can save the backup file anywhere. With ADP you also write down the key that protects all your data. So whatever security implications there are for the one apply to the other.
