    @signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.

    @durov Thats what @signalapp also says. "Leave the market". Have they left any market? No. Zilch. Nada. Zero. When the SIM binding rules in India were made mandatory (now extended till December this year), was there any blog post? Zilch. Nada. Was there any mention from your end too? Zilch. Nada. Nyet. Realistically speaking- will it make an impact beyond "moralistic statements"? Important to note: All governments will want a bit of a control. Name calling (by a person of your stature) won't help.

    @signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.

  • AttiaFX

    @signalapp @signalapp please keep pushing against government dystopia in the UK and EU. Please keep informing the public of harmful policy decisions from government like this. Please pull your services from any dystopian jurisdiction to help shed light on the issue Please do not capitulate

    OMFG - 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.

  • SAP127001
    S.A.P (@SAP127001) reported

    Apple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.

    @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

  • AlmightyAye

    @Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.

  • BrunoZP
    Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported

    @signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.

  • LeoVasanko
    Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported

    @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

  • BradyDale
    Brady Dale (@BradyDale) reported

    @LydiaMoynihan I can't help but feel like sovereign AI will be like using @signalapp or a VPN, something savvy people care about while consumers in general just won't be bothered to think thru Might be something corporates buy into tho. I could buy that.

    @privacylawyer @signalapp the citizen lab link is broken. but no, it would not be amusing; my company is entirely predicated on extensive signal use, and having them remove service for Canadians would be very destructive to my organization

  • MNMegan

    @PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀

  • 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

  • KRinweb3

    @TFTC21 Wait… privacy tools are supposed to protect users when access to their data is being forced, not become the problem themselves. Device privacy, encrypted communication, and network protection are all becoming essential layers. @GrapheneOS and @signalapp are examples of how privacy is being built into different parts of the stack.

  • BInvestHQ
    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.

  • BudgetOrganics
    🇨🇦 Budget organics (@BudgetOrganics) reported

    Note to @signalapp @ProtonMail Can gov just spent years trying everything to attack non compliance of canna bis Seeking to shut down web sites, attack landlords with charges, shut down payment services, charge employees, take vehicles use concrete to block doors, threat letters

  • OccupyNN
    #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)

  • Ammir
    AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reported

    Firebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.

    @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

  • heyadarsha

    @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.

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

    @signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp

  • seqnzes
    name (@seqnzes) reported

    @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  • Alan79192519
    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

  • beatrizelenaf
    @beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported

    @signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

  • 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.

  • Tech_Temp_
    Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported

    @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

  • cyp3_xyz
    CYP3 (@cyp3_xyz) reported

    @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

  • BrendanEich
    BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported

    @marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.
