I’m surprised DOGE themselves aren’t using it to skirt FOIA.
Or maybe they are.
Who says they aren’t? Elon has zero problems with double standards.
oh they for sure are. also FOIA is probably dead forever. so. you know. be ready for that little announcement.
privacy for me, but not for thee!
Being a sovereign 101
They fall under the presidential records act so they aren’t subject to FOIA until the 2030s.
They claim they fall under the Presidential Records Act, but they’re lying.
There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you’re a whistleblower, you’re going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.
“Free speech extremist”
Well, them go Telegram? He would not want to block his right wing friends, too, would he?
“blocks links to Signal” What does that even means? It’s not twitter; people are not sharing Signal links.
Most likely invite links to various groups / contacts
Isn’t it strange that when you believe in an oligarch, they never disappoint.
I’ve gotta donate the signal and spread the word, it’s been my messaging goat for years
“free speech absolutist”

It’s called крокодил I think
It’s said as krokodil correct? Means crocodile because your skin will look like a crocodile’s. I watched a video I wish I’d never seen where some medical workers took off a user’s boot and his foot came off with it.
That’s exactly right.
I feel the same way about the current state of television.
Burn your TV.
Nice try Elon.
Just like the seventies, anarchy is the only way forward to get out of this lying twisted thieving divisive oligarch of politics running my country for the last quarter century plus.
Ikr? I used Reddit for well over a decade, and left without an issue after the APIpocolypse. Did the same with Proton a couple weeks ago. I have no loyalties in tech.

A bunch of government agencies are being told to do business exclusively on X, The Everything App.
Musk’s also trying to build out a financials tool within his ecosystem and to incentivize more people to do business in his preferred basket of shitcoins.
He’s a monopolist, working with other monopolists to corner the Internet as a marketplace. He’s not looking to give people a choice to use other tools.
He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
He never said he wants free speech for everyone :) TBH the shame should be on those who believed that Musk could somehow be the first right-wing extremist in history that wished the people at large had more rights and more freedoms.
He never said he wants free speech for everyone
Yes he fucking did. He called himself a “free speech absolutist” which was just a blatant lie just like every other sentence that has farted out of his Nazi lips.
They always do
@bigfoot free advertising for signal imo
why would someone still be using x at this time for starters is something that baffles me.
Circle jerking, I guess? Same reason I use lemmy :)
Time to donate to signal again
Musk blocking Signal links makes me just a bit happier about my Signal donation every month :>
Monthly for me
Didn’t he foster Signal in 2021? https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1347165127036977153
