  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Safeguard the women and children by mass deporting migrants. Islam is the problem

  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.

  @BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.

  @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)

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

  @signalapp If you guys need public affairs help combating this, my firm would LOVE to help.

  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.

  @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.

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

  @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.

  @signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages

  @akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

  @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 why is Face ID so slow only on signal? Whyyyy? I beg of you to fix it. It’s death by a thousand unlocks. It’s a tiny torture that slowly sends me into madness each day. Please of the love of all that’s secure and private, fix it.

  @signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.

  @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 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 controlled through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.

  Tim (@timderoode) reported 29 minutes ago

  @durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?

  @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.

  @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

  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

  @FreedomofPress @signalapp It's very odd that you don't help promote apps that are even more secure than Signal like @SimpleXChat why is that?

  @signalapp Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)
