WhatsApp is Censoring your Photos, Videos, Status and DMs (Facebook) https://peertube.social/videos/watch/f4b90acd-cd1b-48e6-a4fe-31b2659ee690
So signal is having technical difficulties due to user influx. Signal didn't want to decentralize because it wanted to be able to continue to provide a reliable exoerience. Yet here they are unable to provide a reliable experience BECAUSE they are centralized.
For folks looking for a completely FOSS and reproducible build of the Signal client, consider Molly, a hardened Signal fork:
https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android
Connects to signals' server and there is a 100% FOSS build option. Planning to test it myself hopefully soon!
Signal is down. I can't stop laughing.
Hey Moxie! Tell us again why centralization is the best way to deploy internet messaging for the masses.
I think they'll shrug it off, just like #cambridgeanalytica scandal and merge the 3 eventually to reduce development costs.

@deletefacebook Well well well! Look how the tables have turned!
So ironic! Facebook using our money to sell their ads to newspapers in order to make us use WhatsApp for selling their ads to us and make more money.

And my parents are saying this - "They downloaded the app but no one DMs them, only for Group chats the one guy who made the group texts in the group.."
Some people on Twitter - "Look we're using Chinese apps anyway so what?
If the gov is really bothered then like Chinese apps they would ban WhatsApp too! "

Apparently people are leaving #Signal and are moving back to #whatsapp saying this- I uSe gMaIL iNsTaGrAM cHrOmE aNyWaY. They are sharing news articles and #facebook 's tweets about end to end encryption and blindly believing whatever the spokesperson said.

If you want a neutral alternative to pick another messenger share this image. Try to pick decentralized messengers over Signal whenever you can.

A Tweet from WhatsApp in 2012, before Facebook bought them.
#ads #whatsapp #facebook #deletefacebook
One of the easiest ways to understand how #facebook works is to look from the perceptive of their customers - no not you ❌ but their [billion dollar advertising customers]
Obviously, fire up Tor - visit their ad and business page. Look it up via your search engine. Follow the link in the screenshots.
So many contradicting statements 'we use your personal data' 'we don't use your personal data' you realize it's a gimmick.
Money speaks. Facebook is an ̶s̶o̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶n̶e̶t̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g advertising company.
FACEBOOK [WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus] & its services violate #Privacy, mine your data and censor free speech.
They control how you communicate and what you share on social media. Try living a month without WhatsApp, Instagram or F#cebook.
It's time #DeleteFacebook ~ admin @polarhive https://polarhive.ml/blog/tags/privacy
