Meta is an awful company, but they were complying with a search warrant. The problem is they collect this data in the first place. Messaging services need to be designed to minimize data. You can't hand over data you don't have. @signalapp excels at this.

@DJVsha @christitustech Just dumb down your smartphone. Uninstall anything you can. Install only foss, tracker-free apps. If you go dumb as nokia, then strip your phone all the way and just install @signalapp (it can send sms as well for those contacts that don't have signal)+ vpn. You'll be better off.

@_LifeWithMell Why should everyone else buy an Apple device to solve a problem Apple created? You should download and use the free @signalapp instead.

@BurnerWah @RealGlenMerlin @signalapp fair, but also to be fair telegram secret chats aren't really broken security-wise either. so it's kinda just meh, it'll be fine either way more than likely

@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp Google created the problem. They are the ones crying all the time and wanting to destroy Apple's perfect and safe solutions.

@ayemikey86 @motherboard Not all messaging services — had they used 1 that offers end-to-end encryption & doesn't keep a copy of the decryption key (like @signalapp), the messaging service wouldn't have had anything useful to hand over. (I think Meta's own WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption now, too.)

(@tcely) reported
@jova043 @_LifeWithMell @signalapp It's a problem Apple chose to create and a problem Apple continues choosing to sustain. If it is a problem for Apple or not, isn't relevant. Google wants Apple to implement the upgrade to SMS/MMS. Apple refusing to do so is the same as if they only supported 2G phone calls.

@Seliene_ @signalapp Agreed, and that’s what happens. Just was never an issue with WhatsApp. The chat history would sync across everything regardless of time

@LilNonfungible @TehrangelesUSA @signalapp They all have issues, but you don’t want decryption to have anything at all to do with phone numbers, which can be ported, seized, stolen, mirrored, etc. I like Signal and the two wrappers I mentioned, for their ease. PGP doesn’t need to be understood anymore than Signal does.

@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp Google has no say in how Apple runs their business. And it being a problem for Apple or not is relevant. Apple is literally gonna go on not caring what Google wants. Maybe they should run their business better and not half *** messaging on Android

@yuwukii @signalapp only issue is it wont solve anything because iphone users still mostly use iMessage, so we gotta find an alternative solution or improve the current ones

@signalapp unable to send a specific gif from google keyboard. Not able to recieve the same. What should be the issue? The same gifs works perfectly everywhere else for sending and receiving.

@SnazzyQ @MKBHD Using @signalapp solves all the problems no need for RCS. I am pretty sure google will lose interest in supporting after a while. Not to forget the number of apps they created and shutdown

Public service message to all dissidents of the regime: change you online habits! There are many services you can use to increase opsec: @ProtonMail (email / calendar / file sharing) and @signalapp (messaging) to start. @cryptpad for documentation collaboration. Use VPN too.

@signalapp I was unlinked from Signal on two desktops (Mac and Linux) today. Nothing happens when I point the in-app linking camera view at the QR codes from displayed on either devices. What’s up? A friend told me earlier today that they had the same issue.

(@GrahamDowns) reported
@WhatsApp @signalapp FYI, it's the same reason more people buy ebooks from Amazon over Kobo. Or use Windows or Mac over Linux. Or own iPhones over Android phones. In each case, the latter is the superior product/service, but the former has more money to spend on marketing. >:(

@PPDAC_LTD @TehrangelesUSA @signalapp Agreed wrt authentication. I am team Yubikey myself. Never go anywhere without it. Super duper user friendly to set up for 2FA. Only issue is making sure average users set up a backup key and keep it safe. Most FIDO2 implementations let you choose less secure 2FA if you lose key.

@signalapp Hello Signal, My app has been crashed instantly after opening since friday ago and again after reinstall + key change Henceforth I cannot send a debug log link to talk about it on your website. I sent a rapport to Google but... What can I do please? Thanks for ur help

@signalapp often when I send a message I see one circle and it doesn’t send, then if I later send a second, both are then delivered (2 circles). It happens too often to be random network issues. Any idea?

@Alexintosh @signalapp encryption is good afaik, but the core issue is the censorship here not so much the confidentiality. Signal servers are still in USA. We need a twitter equivalent backup for coordination. Also decentralized messengers.

@tcely @_LifeWithMell @signalapp This ain’t an Apple problem though.iMessage is the top messaging service for Americans. Google wants Apple to fix their problems for them.

@fr_brennan @signalapp There's unfortunately just not a good answer to this; people generally like the convenience of centralization but the only way to have that centralization at that scale is either from a big company which causes the money issue.

(@BrianHyphen) reported
@Seliene_ @signalapp Yep, checked. Thanks for trying to help though. The messages do send, but only after I sent a second to the same person.

(@Exallium) reported
@PatrickDattilio @signalapp Still requires a phone number for sign up, though you could always use a service like twilio or Google voice to get a phone number that isn't your normal day to day one, if it's a problem.

Durandal
(@noirscape_) reported
@fr_brennan @signalapp Tbh the problem with signal is similar to all centralized messaging apps. In the end, their bottom line is what drives them and they probably don't want to bother with the extra cost it adds to technical support that they think it could add.
