Shady Attia (@AttiaFX) reported@signalapp @signalapp please keep pushing against government dystopia in the UK and EU. Please keep informing the public of harmful policy decisions from government like this. Please pull your services from any dystopian jurisdiction to help shed light on the issue Please do not capitulate

npalsensei (@npalsensei) reported@AeldorThalion @Viber @signalapp Welp. The problem is that most of my contacts are either on fb (which I don't have anymore) or Viber. I can't just randomly tell everyone to go into signal or anything, that's usually the main issue, not whether *I* can switch. I can. My network doesn't switch🫠.
-
Notesnook (@notesnook) reported@signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.
-
Durango (@Durango4571) reported@signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.
-
Liran Cohen (CTV + CSFS) (@itsLIRAN) reported@simulx4 @signalapp I'm working on it! It's a hard problem to solve, and even with my current solution there is some metadata leakage. Some of the metadata can be obfuscated for protocols that aren't many-to-many in large numbers.
-
Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported@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.
-
@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.
-
TikDemonne🥷🦠👾 (@tikDemonne) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Yes but the truth is they are stupid, at least reading and having a little education about privacy can save you from these problems but ignorance is something that kills humanity
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported@TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content
-
Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.
-
The Earl of Wankinshire (@dfsgdfgdfdgf34) reported@yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy
-
🌬️🫘 (@tweets2xs) reported@DrewHyatt8 @signalapp No way… The NSA would not have something this secure the algorithm cannot be broken no matter what… the guy who invented this form of encryption decided to make signal a foundation nonprofit… because it was better for the greater good of humanity than privatizing it… that’s how special it is And you know it’s true when entire governments can’t break the code… the only way they can get signals is by screenshots, but actually deciphering the encryption code. Nope, impossible for many reasons not even the NSA.

Web3Privacy Now (@web3privacy) reportedGiving 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.

Mahoor (@mahoor2026) reported@Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran
-
Yegor Tkachenko (@yegortk) reported@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.
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@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?
-
GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported@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?
-
Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported✅ @Apple has rolled out a software fix to address a flaw that stored notifications marked for deletion on the device. This vulnerability allowed the @FBI to read deleted messages in @signalapp. The update comes weeks after it was revealed that the agency managed to forensically extract copies of incoming #Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone in connection with an attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center facility. This was possible even after the app had been deleted, by exploiting the fact that copies of message content were stored in the device’s push notification database. Signal’s developers thanked Apple for its “quick action and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue.”
-
Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported@TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

Manfred @tschisass.bsky.social 📯 💚 🌻 (@tschisass) reported.@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people
-
Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported@KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.
-
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported@signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.
-
Mister Ree (@MisterRee321) reported@ShaneAKAProp @beverleyturner @signalapp Not my problem.
-
Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported@bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful
-
Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV
-
Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@signalapp Iran's government is silencing its people by cutting off the internet, hiding atrocities from the world. You have the power to help. Will you stand with us, or betray our trust by staying silent? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

PawelNotts (@PawelNotts) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.

ENIGMA 🦍 (@MelvinDaEnigma) reported@signalapp I’m waiting on a verification code that never comes. Any help?
