    Just imagine how easy your security work will be without the WhatsApp or Facebook messenger flying around on your network causing problems I mean it really is a literally most unsecure thing on the Internet

  • AddressedMako Addressed Mako (@AddressedMako) reported

    @DannyBSvg @amyb993 Telegram has at least had decent popularity with furries for a while, and even had a surge when Facebook Messenger was down a while ago, but I'm definitely surprised Telegram of all things is getting the attention of the alt-right at this point as well.

    @Mohamed40014750 @ShaoDowMusic Scaremongering. When was the last time you had an add pop up on FB messenger app? And even if they did.... Have you used Viber? I use it for VOIP calls and was using it as WhatsApp alternative. Free service, has ads, not intrusive at all.

  • BlueSummerGirl Blue Shiera Targaryen (@BlueSummerGirl) reported

    @Aeronius_McCoy @DFR_Author If you can uninstall facebook messenger, that may help. MIL has been sending "truth" vids & links on it and they all seem to have warnings about not posting to FB bc theyll be deleted by The Conspiracy.

  • PurtzGpuppy Purtz (@PurtzGpuppy) reported

    One can only hope that the 25 million new users on Telegram have swapped over because they ditched whatsapp and FB messenger... and not because Parler was shut down.

    @TheMarkCooke @ARKInvest With Microsoft Team, Oracle’s Slack/Work, Webex, Google Meet, Facebook messenger, Signal Advance and every business having their own video call and conference, I can’t get my head around, what makes ZM so valuable company having video call as a service?? Any thoughts please??

  • JR4_Truth JR4Truth (@JR4_Truth) reported

    @CloudAtlas_47 @johnkruzel If people coordinated plans to attack a Capital over snail mail USPS, gmail, outlook, FB messenger or any other Company/Service do they all need banned? Lets just ban all communication, talking, sign language, smoke signals....I'm sure that would stop all violence in the World.

    @InstagramComms Can you help me please, it’s been more than 24 hours now that I’m unable to get access to my personal account, Instagram keeps asking me for a verification phone code and I just never get it, I tried to get a SMS from Facebook Messenger and it did go through.

  • christromans christromans (@christromans) reported

    @LEGO_Group You've asked me to call about an order (can't take payment - even thought it's the same payment for all my recent orders). I can't call you (00800 doesn't work for most UK mobiles - MASSIVE customer problem there!) and you take 3-4 days to answer FB Messenger?
