@gavinmcmahonco @benedictevans @signalapp The TOS are a “lagging indicator”. Lawyers update TOS only *after* the business/product people decide the service offering. Interesting that there is so much (negative) scrutiny of the contractual write-up vs the actual (& new) substance of the terms.

@drywallsarcasm @elonmusk @signalapp You use signal to encrypt your text messages? Dude, if Tony Budding found out your real identity and threatened your job, I don't think the government would have any trouble either.

@timkindberg @signalapp @WhatsApp whatsapp is also encrypted, only issue being they store the keys and they sell your meta data to 3rd party

@ZenRiots @sunny051488 @signalapp Signal uses AWS. Why wouldn’t they be secure? Plenty of platforms use Google Cloud & AWS and have no problems with security.

@mn0sec @Krevbot @signalapp Sure I agree. It's just my retort to his tweet. He said people should not be mad at signals disruption because its a free service. So I pointed out that WhatsApp is also free and we should complain when it goes down likewise signal

@xeni @signalapp @wokyleeks Let's be clear, the distrust some people have is that the NSA chose something that they could crack using some extremely clever (but unknown) tricks. If that were true, making a few ad hoc implementation changes, essentially blind, is unlikely to help.

@milo4007 @signalapp YouThere and Telegram have better quality service, far away in terms of app quality as well as privacy because YouThere doesn’t collect mobile number either, it’s a SIM FREE / DATA FREE messenger

@TheTechSpace @signalapp Yes, I know. I don't think that is the problem though. I had Signal on my previous phone 1-2 years ago but didn't bother reinstalling it because of this, & I see it's still happening.

@signalapp An outage of 24 hours is completely reasonable given the circumstances, however anything more than that can impact your current growth rate. @WhatsApp has used your technical issue to push back their data sharing plan by 3 months!

It looks like @signalapp has been down for 24 hours now. Which could be a good thing. This is unlikely to be a load issue after so long.

@ropman76 @moxie @signalapp It's just like... Come on man the entire internet was and is government funded. Every app, protocol and service you use daily sees government funding regularly. It's such a dumb, reductionist take

22 hours later, I still cannot use Signal whether on phone or desktop. Nobody, literally NOBODY, has ever designed a system that can gain 40 million users within a matter of days and not have issues. Take ya time, we'll be here waiting @signalapp

@signalapp @moxie After 24hrs signal app still shows technical difficulties message on app. Is it permanently pinned or any way to remove it. I already tweeted my issue but not get any reply.

My one issue with @signalapp is that your identity is still ~ your phone number. Would be far cooler if you could instantiate a new one for every contact (sort of like a fresh Bitcoin address). Scanning a QR code to add people makes this not actually painful.

@signalapp Nobody ever made a system to gain 40+ million users in a few weeks or days without having issues. See it as something positive, more people start to worry about privacy and because of that people are using WhatsApp alternatives. Such as signal. :) Take your time
