“Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI? If you ask Signal president Meredith Whittaker (and I did), she’ll tell you it’s simply because “AI is a surveillance technology.””
WhatsApp has blocked me "due to spam" which (needless to say) is nonsense or some glitch on their end.
I know people will find it annoying/pretentious if I fully switch over to #signal but can you blame me after losing my primary means of communication? This fucking sucks and if it doesn't get resolved is going to mess up the next few months like i lost a wallet.
This is just of the many tweets that are flooding Twitter these days praising Telegram and discouraging users from using Signal with stupid NSA and FBI conspiracy theories.
Under no scenario you should have Telegram installed on your phone. It's basically the Hulk Hogan of E2EE apps
Pavel Durov (Telegram), Jack Dorsey (ex-Twitter), DHH (37Signals) e Elon Musk (Tesla, X) estão atacando gratuitamente o Signal e suas líderes (chairwoman e CEO, duas mulheres). Por quê?
bon matin masto : aurais-tu un article - en anglais si possible - qui explique en quoi il vaut mieux utiliser #Signal que #Whatsapp ? 🙏
J'en ai marre de me faire charrier par mes collègues : je n'ai visiblement pas les arguments pour les personnes qui ne sont pas du tout sensibilisées contre les gafam :blobfearful:.
The agency accused Amazon of using the app, which can be set to automatically delete messages, to hide information related to the FTC’s ongoing #antitrust investigation into the company #security#privacy
»Kartellklage: Amazon-Führungskräfte zerstören angeblich Beweise via Signal:
Jeff Bezos, Andy Jassy und weitere Führungskräfte hätten über @signalapp für eine Kartellklage relevante Informationen ausgetauscht und wieder gelöscht, behauptet die FTC.«
Auch deswegen unterstützen die ua unauffällig @simplex finanziell und auch deswegen sehe ich dies kritisch. Ich verweise auf @briar und @cwtch obwohl es bei einigen unbekannt ist.
🧵 …zugegeben im Artikel oben zum Thema @signalapp, geht es auch darum, dass die digitale Kommunikation die Anonymität staatlich wieder entfernt werden will 🤷♂️
Meine aufgelisteten Lösungen @briar und @cwtch sind (noch) nicht populär und auch deswegen (noch) nicht staatlich verfolgt und bekämpft.
Hey friends... I've just setup a username in #Signal so I can be reached without having to publish my phone number. Feel free to add me to your contact list and communicate securely!
I'm a huge fan and active advocate for @signalapp . I tell everyone to give up WhatsApp and adopt Signal. But I had to reinstall on my phone and not only did I loose all conversations on my phone: I seem locked out of my groups where nothing comes in, even for the group I admin. All is fine on my laptop and desktop, but disaster on the phone. I followed all the instructions on the support pages, to no avail. This is really unexpected and hugely disappointing. #Signal
The idea of any democratic government essentially #censoring an app or platform for political reasons is deeply worrying $ hypocritical
Yet, I strongly freel something has to be done about TikTok, and its potential as a tool in #Chinese state-led #disinformation campaigns. But there's a more fundamental problem. Why should TikTok have access to the US, Japanese & European markets when platforms like #LINE, #Spotify, #Facebook#Whatsapp & #Signal can't be used in China?
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
Sure, but the question was never "switching from XMPP" : #Signal is an entry-level application for people interested by privacy but without technical knowledge.
I have yet to succeed in convincing anyone to use #XMPP while I already convinced people in my circle of relations to use Signal.
And of the people I convinced to use #protonmail only maybe one in ten remembers their password or care to check their inbox from time to time.
