Signal has been a primary method of communication for federal workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE.

    an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.

      I know things are defcon level insane,but reading that, the as is way they phrase and apply the terms, by someone with that specific set of skills, makes things sound (they are) so much more malicious.

    most likely a spam detection issue.

    I wish europe banned anhy of the american social media, my applications would finally have a chance. But europeans won’t do that because they are huge pussies when it comes to americans. Unlike the chinese who created a whole internet universe for themselves, and they don’t even bother translating it to english anymore

    I hope Signal doesnt end up getting outlawed in the US. Elon musk seems to be against it now, and he has a lot of power these days.

    He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.

      The first step would probably be to try and revoke their tax exempt non profit status. But I’m confident the Signal Foundation would at that point just move to another jurisdiction. Maybe Canada, Switzerland or something like that.

    They fear open source software because it is one of the only thing that threatens their technofascist hegemony.

    This only further proves that we are investing in platforms that are chipping away at them.
