  Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported 4 minutes ago

  @signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.

  @vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem

  @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

  @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)

  @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.

  @privacylawyer @signalapp apple should just shut down their iclouds

  @KhanAbbas201 @signalapp good for chats, sadly terrible ux for groups. not even sure what is the reason for expiring links.

  @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

  @signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included

  @spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.

  Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reported 13 minutes ago

  Signal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it

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

  @TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

• 
  pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reported 24 minutes ago

  Damn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app

• 
  Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported 26 minutes ago

  @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

  engicom Africa (@engipolity) reported 28 minutes ago

  @WIFI_DE_ @signalapp Wr had the same issue for weeks. They don't even reply to messages. I am giving up on Signal.. it looks like they are shutting us out.. i used to have the account then changed my phone. Phew . Their nightmare started.

  🥷pirate🦜smith🏴‍☠️ (@lea7hersm17h) reported 31 minutes ago

  @callebtc @signalapp @smspoolnet even tho i dislike the titan, port your number to Google Voice for $10 then keep the free service. only problem is it registers as VoiP so doesn't always authenticate as a true phone number. but it verifies with Signal

• 
  Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported 33 minutes ago

  @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

   محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported 35 minutes ago

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

• 
  6H6ST6.AI (@6H6ST6) reported 36 minutes ago

  @WhatsApp @signalapp @X amongst many others been shut down around us in the UK how is this ok that this is allowed we’re been run out by the one person that promised us the best and is given us hell ! On earth how is this ok ? There’s no humanity there is no clear leader to lead!

• 
  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 38 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

• 
  AinWeb3 (@AinWeb3) reported 43 minutes ago

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  Ștefan Cristian B. 🇪🇺 🏴‍☠️ (@StefanBrindusa) reported 44 minutes ago

  @blankanticensor @daily_romania @signalapp Signal is fully open source, alongside all its algorithms, and they stand unhacked - everyone is watching. If Telegram was hacked with closed-source server, it's up to them if they truly want to let the few million eyes to fix them. Only up to them, their sole choice.

  @Pandora_Delaney @ArtirKel @signalapp hmm yeah that does sound like a bug perhaps file a bug report and hope that the next update would fix? (sorry idk anyone at signal)

• 
  David Singer (@ramaboo) reported 48 minutes ago

  @Pandora_Delaney @MichaelAlleged @signalapp I know a few Signal devs you can ****.. but I don't think it will fix this issue... Might still be fun though.

  Hammad Maqbool (@iMrHammad) reported 50 minutes ago

  @PTAofficialpk what is the issue? Why I can't receive OTP for @signalapp app? Why google rcs is not working in Pakistan? Are these things banned from PTA?

• 
  Jamie (@Jamiemullen67) reported 51 minutes ago

  @anilkseth @signalapp The privacy concern is fair, but this hasn’t “broken” iMessage encryption. Your messages are still end-to-end encrypted in transit. The person receiving them could already screenshot, copy, forward or photograph them; this just makes it easier for AI to read, search and summarise their copy. That’s an endpoint privacy issue, not an encryption backdoor.

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

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