@signalapp BAD move. Please fire the CEO, as she doesn't realize that the vast majority of Android users will bail and bring down the user base significantly. Reverse the decision and keep SMS! You are being cheap in your development. Once SMS is gone from my phone, I'm dropping Signal.

@badboy_lifetime @signalapp They could have identified users by anything they require to be unique. Phone numbers, while convenient and mappable to existing registries like your phone contacts, make it possible for carriers to turn off your Signal access, even though it's an independent service.

@johnjhacking @UoB_SecPriv the more interesting issue here is that some deleted messages will (temporarily) remain in the SQlite WAL file @signalapp

@emceebois Signal is great for people living in Western democracies. If @signalapp and @EFF would stop recommending it without caveat to journalists who work with at-risk sources and activists who are not so privileged, I would not take issue. But they endanger us for their egos.

@signalapp when are you guys going to implement usernames and multiple android devices support? also why is the account tied to phone number? No one cares about ******* emojis, just fix the #1 requested issue with usernames

@tengbiao I think you should contact Signal directly via that support email, explain who you are and why you are being cautious (it is smart to be cautious), then do what Signal suggest to you. Maybe you can ask for help from their official Twitter account: @signalapp

@LexsWorld @signalapp I was thrilled when SMS was dropped. Signal was terrible at doing SMS. They're focusing on doing better at Signal messaging instead

@masterchaerge Interesting article... it seems that the issue was a messaging app installed on the devices. If you're using @signalapp or something like @session_app you should be fine, even on a state-compromised device.

@signalapp I get the base idea of "in the future, every message sent or received will be secure". It just doesn't help if the app is used less. It's a step backward, and not user-friendly.

@signalapp how do I contribute to your stories feature on @github? Which script do I edit? I abused @Snapchat and want to help develop your functionality.

@signalapp As much as you try, Metadata is the problem Signal. You require a number to register so you cannot ever be private. Metadata.

@signalapp Please do not get rid of SMS support. Removing that will basically make the utility of Signal non-existent. I will likely migrate to a different service, having been a user since Red Phones and Text Secure days.
