Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm looking forward to anyone using the word 'signal' around trump being suspected of mocking him.

Sensitive egotistical maniacs are so much fun to placate.

They should have left their personal phone at home, and brought a burner. Without the fun apps on it.

These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.

You are assuming it wasn't puposeful. And clearly it's been going on a while. They only got caught due to their incompetence

The entire Government of Putin is a huge cluster fuck. Send them all to fucking Moscow, one-way.

Jesus fucking Russian assets...

It looks like you're using an ad blocker.

Well, can't read that website.

Plasters some big dead thing from a website called "getadmiral.com" over the page that I can't remove.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger in Firefox and can read it.

Sounds like a bunch of traitors.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are you just figuring that out now? Attacking all its allies is what did it for me.

The US is a captured state now, and there are only a few ways out; voting is not one of them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

Welcome to the party pal, most of us knew it was traitor town when "Russia if your listening" was said on national TV.

Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It also goes to show that Signal may actually be worth its salt in regards to security.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?

You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.

I use Signal to avoid government accountability.

We are not the same.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Well I use it and have put it on relatives phones so they can communicate with me easily, ideally though I'd use Threema but yeah signals a lot better than other free alternatives.

No.

Graham Fraser: Technology reporter.

Signal, compared with other messaging apps, has added security features to protect the privacy of its users. Conversations on the app are end-to-end encrypted, which means they can only be read by the recipients. Signal can’t even read what has been sent. But security is only as good as the person using it.

Damage control look up their original articles on trump.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Isn't hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Why would dissidents want to use something insecure? 🤔
