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

  @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.

  @TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.

  @PaulSmithDM @signalapp I thought "crap parents are so terrified of" might have been a clue that I agree with you completely. The missing tone of voice makes it harder though. I regard this "ooh the kiddies" as utterly despicable. The problem now is to find a party that won't do it.

  @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.

  @bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.

  How can i leave the groups or delete my signal account because whenever i try to do that it say network problem even i have best internet connection @signalapp

  @signalapp project folders help, but unread semantics get messy once muted chats are included

  @signalapp @404mediaco Feels bigger than a bug more like an iOS notification design issue. Could’ve affected all E2EE apps, not just Signal. What about notifications already in iCloud backups?

  @eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?

  @signalapp If they force you, pull your service from the uk - this will send a powerful message. I wish apple would do the same thing ie shut off all iPhones - it would make people wake up and apple can afford to

  @ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone

• 
  JohnSalmondOz (@OzSalmond) reported 21 minutes ago

  @carolecadwalla @signalapp Musk is a problem that needs to be dealt with entirely separately from protecting children from material our society has decided to bar them from. Musk and his like are a separate problem we MUST deal with anyhow. Using them as an excuse to avoid helping kids is absurd

  @sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet

• 
  Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported 23 minutes ago

  @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

  @signalapp no repro matters but listed checked versions would help teams close noisy incident queues

• 
  Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported 25 minutes ago

  @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 We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.

• 
  Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported 31 minutes ago

  @zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!

  @yegortk @signalapp No it's a simple problem we want privacy

  David T.S. Fraser (@privacylawyer) reported 32 minutes ago

  @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.

  @KhanAbbas201 @signalapp Its just terrible for groups.

  @ShaneAKAProp @beverleyturner @signalapp Not my problem.

  KR 🟨 (@KRinweb3) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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.

  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.

  @TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content

• 
  Krev23 (@Krev2323) reported 52 minutes ago

  @signalapp The problem I have with all this **** is, it will never be used for "justice". It will only ever be used for "control". They proved it to us with the lock-downs. "YOU" got tackled, and abused by cops for trying to walk on the beach, "THEY" got to dine at restaurants,without masks

  They don’t need it. Their encryption is broken and behind 5 clicks away and not turned on by default. Just use @signalapp

• 
  Liran Cohen (CTV + CSFS) (@itsLIRAN) reported 1 hour ago

  @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.
