    @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

    @signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2

    @NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

    @vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity

    @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

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

    Hello @signalapp what is update about ur privacy breach baby? What is issue of Iphone Signal Notification Data Disclosure??

  • anubandhsutra
    Abhishek Puri (@anubandhsutra) reported

    @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.

    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

  • 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?

  • MeanHash
    MeanHash ₿ ✪ (@MeanHash) reported

    So @signalapp what the play here? Can't bow down to this rule.

  • DrHassdenteufel

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

  • polacken5k
    Polacken (@polacken5k) reported

    @CityofHats @signalapp I mean, only the latest version of Signal supports linking phones and Android tablets as clients, so the version is kind of obvious. And yes, I agree, this is not a security issue. It is just a sync bug.

  • MohsenRafeq

    @signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.

  • deuslexic
    Deus (@deuslexic) reported

    Signal security with CAPTCHA is non-sense. I cannot pass it for 3 days, manually with my agents. I need to assign a new number, and I've been throttled after just several attempts (it was carrier issues). @signalapp can you be less idiotic, please?

  • storopoli
    Jose Storopoli (@storopoli) reported

    They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

  • Bitchard11
    Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported

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

  • Shaenooo

    @signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this

  • AJack2026
    Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported

    @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV

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

  • CtrlAlt8080
    CTRL_ALT_DELETE (@CtrlAlt8080) reported

    @JackRhysider @signalapp Same as the API.WhatsAp is evrywhere bc Meta sells the Business API. eats the spam/abuse problem with a massive trust & safety org.Signal is 50 ppl at a nonprofit. Doctor-and-shop messaging means becoming a spam cop and a subpoena magnet. It's the the design, not a lack of will.

  • zchat_app
    Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported

    @signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it

  • 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

  • signalvoyager
    SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported

    And now @RadarChat brings that same freedom to Signal replacing what is wrong with hile keeping what is good. Is it too much to ask @vikrantnyc to fix @signalapp 's backup problem? (n/n)

  • 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.

  • diveshkumar786
    Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reported

    Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

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

  • sebuzdugan

    @signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity

  • NewQuietY
    هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported

    @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.
