    @Snowden @signalapp Don't you think the problem is in the centralized architecture? That this same thing can happen to @signalapp too?

  • giantshitcomin1 giantshitcomingoutofhumanity (@giantshitcomin1) reported

    @EmmaBat_ @Snowden @signalapp SMS is extremely insecure. Its the equivalent of walking down the street naked at 1am.. Not everyone will see your ***, but those who look will.

  • LebaneseMedia1 الإعلام اللبناني (@LebaneseMedia1) reported

    @signalapp Signal is also not working 🙄

  • samj Sam Johnston (@samj) reported

    WhatsApp is down too… finally the motivation I needed to stop closing the annoying privacy popup and find a new home for messaging: @signalapp

  • American_Jew Jewish Conservative (@American_Jew) reported

    @Just_Levi_D @signalapp I'll be training pigeons for when Signal also goes down.

  • Casualpol reader_techno (@Casualpol) reported

    @rickmcull @Snowden @signalapp For one,Gary is only their for the clearing house. Something that will help fund the entire system,something no one that aims to take down Facebook can do without funding. 2,Read about their backgrounds.Where they worked doesn’t define them completely. Also,you ignored the rest.

  • DaddyNIMI Dr. Súcre (@DaddyNIMI) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Terrible time out herenin Nigeria, where our government have banned tweeter for months & now we are experiencing FB, whatspp, IG being down for hours too! #sad

  • FromVishnu Vishnu (@FromVishnu) reported

    WhatsApp is still down folks. Move to @signalapp.

  • Mrcarmie Mr Carmie (@Mrcarmie) reported

    @wendylyon @Lamhfada @signalapp It is such a terrible terrible idea.

  • aeonBTC æon (@aeonBTC) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Yeah until @signalapp servers go down, then what?

  • christiaens_123 Mathieu Christiaens (@christiaens_123) reported

    @Snowden @TheCryptoDog @signalapp Nothing better than an ordinary phone. Imagine internet down for a few weeks. Chaos. Would be good. Learn to talk and work again. Too much screentime for the youth and all of us. A few weeks off and back to nature and actual social interacting would do good to everyone.

  • Poppie43 Kim High (@Poppie43) reported

    @signalapp Is signal down?

  • aloktyagi9 Alok Tya6i Vats (@aloktyagi9) reported

    @signalapp I am switching from whatspp to signal but still facing issue here as well 😭

  • KevinkhoZA_ 𝕯𝕺𝖀𝕭𝕷𝕰_𝕶 (@KevinkhoZA_) reported

    Since WhatsApp is not working let's all download @signalapp

  • neerajrawat1 Neeraj Rawat (@neerajrawat1) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp A service(Here all three, could be some interlinking of services/Bad design) is down vs A service has privacy? Please enlighten the difference

  • dofin147 Fin (@dofin147) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp We tried to use it for our friend group. But the layout is really bad and had some server capacity problems back then. It needs to improve a lot to be perceived as a real alternative. We continue with Telegram for now.

  • aloktyagi9 Alok Tya6i Vats (@aloktyagi9) reported

    @signalapp I was signed up but I did not get any message I think it's down as well

  • Torials Victoria Saxby (@Torials) reported

    Not going to lie, having @signalapp is a definite bonus at the moment as @WhatsApp is down! Worth switching! #whatsappdown #Signal

  • stonybiker1 stonybiker (@stonybiker1) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Im going to put my BBS back in service.

  • chinabox44 Lebron James (@chinabox44) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Signal is also ****. They could not carry my data to my new iphone. Continuously sending stupid help emails but none of them were useful. Seriously you are just ****! @SingalApp

  • shahebaa_z CryptoBaz (@shahebaa_z) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp It was also down couple days back

  • YUSUPHKILEO Yusuph Kileo (@YUSUPHKILEO) reported

    @Snowden @fatma_karume @signalapp My Brother, We agreed, Everyone is the target, Shifting App because one is down makes no sense. Should we switch again when Signal is Down! We should urge organisations to strengthen their IRP & DRP instead.

  • michelprevost Michel Prévost (@michelprevost) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp So, @Signalapp won't go down?

  • meee_urva Urwa Akram ♡ (@meee_urva) reported

    @Aamir88794760 @signalapp Not working for me my messages are pending

  • schnookiecakes Cakes (@schnookiecakes) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp It will be the same scenario of your Signal app goes down like Whatsapp.

  • birajlahkar Biraj Lahkar (@birajlahkar) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp I'm already using it. The only problem is that people are becoming addicted to WhatsApp.

  • xelexaclen9 Xelex (@xelexaclen9) reported

    I'm switching to @signalapp for a more reliable service, WhatsApp has taken a short vacation for now. #WhatsAppDown
