We sold out, so we restocked ;) shop.signal.org

📢New from me! On why "privacy for me but not for thee" amounts to "privacy for no one," and how a German Military comms leak demonstrates that mass private comms services, like Signal, are the only way to ensure privacy--for anyone and everyone. 👇 netzpolitik.org/2024/taurus-le…

📢 My NDSS Symposium keynote is up! On how we lost the crypto wars, why surveillance advertising must be understood as the foundation of "AI", & why the tactics of the past won't serve us in defending privacy today. Text: signal.org/blog/pdfs/ndss… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=XA2fRR…

Now in beta on Android & Desktop, coming soon to iOS: Save custom nicknames & notes for anyone you’re chatting with on Signal, even if they aren’t in your phone’s contacts. Useful for adding missing letters in a lazy friend’s profile name or a reminder about where you met.

It’s true. Signal is a better way to communicate, with everyone.

Now live for everyone on iOS, Android, and Desktop 💫

Signal strongly opposes this proposal. Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees. This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice. It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding. Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities signal.org/blog/pdfs/uplo…

Some users experienced message delivery delays beginning last night that primarily impacted linked devices like Signal Desktop. We just deployed a fix. Affected users might see failed delivery notices while Signal automatically catches up. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Signal is blocked in several countries but you can set up a proxy server to help people access Signal no matter where they live. Here’s how: signal.org/blog/proxy-ple… Thank you for helping keep Signal available for everyone who needs it. To share your proxies use #SignalProxy

On its 10th anniversary, Signal's president Meredith Whittaker is reminding you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. Doesn’t track or serve you ads. Pays its engineers well. And millions use it. #TheBigInterview: wired.com/story/meredith…
