  @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

  @ShivAroor @telegram @signalapp Absolute stupidity, despite available information on these issues, gov still wants answers 🤡

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Help the parents have and use tools, don't design clunky sector wide failures.

  @signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.

  @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.

  @oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.

  @Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.

  @signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages

  OMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.

  @signalapp @404mediaco Apple could just read it from Apple Push Notification service right?

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

  @signalapp Hi Signal team — solo dev building an AGPL app on libsignal. To ship it on the Apple App Store I'd need a §7 App Store additional permission for libsignal (you did this for an earlier library ). I've filed the details in a GitHub issue on the libsignal repo. Could I get it in front of the right person? My code's AGPL, full source published. Thanks for libsignal. 🙏

  PSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).

  @BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.

  @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

• 
  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 31 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

  @topicswithatee @signalapp Stop giving kids smart phones Problem solved It’s on the lazy *** parents

  @signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.

  @signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.

  @signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  Craig Stevens (@craig100) reported 45 minutes ago

  @LabDRN @signalapp A better way to do this is to only switch the service on for childs' phones. The parents do that when they set up the phone. No dig ID needed.

  @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.

  My mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.

  @yrschrade @orithellama @signalapp You need more than that. It’s not the encryption that’s the problem with Signal, it’s the pre exposed mobile number and by extension home address

  @kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
