Signal Problems in New Orleans
Signal is an encrypted communications application for Android and iOS. It uses the Internet to send one-to-one and group messages, which can include files, voice notes, images and videos, and make one-to-one voice and video calls. Signal uses standard cellular mobile numbers as identifiers, and uses end-to-end encryption to secure all communications to other Signal users.

@marknoble @dennisdoppler @mer__edith @eden63884950 @signalapp Getting ppl to use them, consistently, must be seamless to integrate into life. Problem with Signal was here, yrs ago, when easy to use but not easy enough. Ppl installed but didn’t use, or only for things like organizing protest, w no patience for any tiny barrier to switch apps

@marknoble @dennisdoppler @mer__edith @eden63884950 @signalapp The biggest problem in maintaining digital privacy & security amongst whistleblower, civil human rights abuse victim, activist, journalists, etc is adaptation of best practices and tech, and vulnerabilities built on purpose or overlooked by big tech companies, social media, etc.

@dennisdoppler @eden63884950 @mer__edith @marknoble @signalapp Could you explain an example of how establishing identity in this way is a problem, or how it could expose location, contacts or content of communications? I don’t see how it’s any more revealing than showing who uses Signal?Related Services
