  @gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.

  @signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Think for a bit. Age verification? Ok, no big problem, don’t like it, but acceptable. Now… how do you think you detect unsafe content ***? Tech magic? Smartphone witch? Every byte of your mobile phone must go to some server, get unencrypted and scanned. You fine with this?

  first, messages aren't e2e encrypted. secondly, reduces the quality of pics/ videos being sent or uploaded on status. there’s a reason those contacts are not saved to my phone fgs, @WhatsApp fix up. a dumb update tbh, it’s high time to pivot to @signalapp

  Tim (@timderoode) reported 5 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?

  @signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix

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

  @phillipstewart @signalapp This is a standard setting on every messaging app, and Apple fixed the issue of caching them. It was never a security flaw with Signal.

  @signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

  @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.

  @NivalCat @BrendanEich @signalapp I find it a bigger problem that they still require a phone to run. Cannot install on a PC (Signal Desktop still requires a phone to be running and proxy messages to it).

  @The_Propapanda @signalapp I'm sure that if you can provide an exhaustive list of all names that might be used in phishing campaigns, signal can block them... That is a weak spot, but it's hard to fix.

  Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported 20 minutes ago

  @agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

  @Daavya_vaishnav @signalapp Signal already wins on privacy and the UI is much better than many people expect. The harder problem is replacing Telegram’s bots, channels, and community infrastructure.

  صدایی تو جهانم نیست♐ (@Love_Lorn9952) reported 22 minutes ago

  @signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Death sentence for ****** would help.

  Yegor Tkachenko (@yegortk) reported 32 minutes ago

  @signalapp @prestonjbyrne Life is a multi-obejctive optimization problem - child safety is one important objective, privacy is another important objective (Iranians would love more privacy from their state). Maxing out a single objective when the price of that is sacrificing all else is a bad policy.

  GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported 35 minutes ago

  @theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?

  @signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.

• 
  Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported 43 minutes ago

  @bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.

  @octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing

• 
  Sebastian (@seb_mc2) reported 48 minutes ago

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

• 
  AinWeb3 (@AinWeb3) reported 51 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.

  Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported 52 minutes ago

  @signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  Giving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.

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