Sorry, we can no longer suggest using @signalapp as it won't work with your contacts who don't also use it.

Shame. Was good while lasted.

[Signal @signalapp]

In the interest of privacy, security, and clarity we’re beginning to phase out SMS support from the Android app. You’ll have several months to export your messages and either find a new app for SMS or tell your friends to download Signal.

@CryptoPartyMCR @thefalken @TheOverspill Nearly. You can set them (on iOS) to only display meaningful info if you unlock with Face ID.

@charlesarthur @thefalken @TheOverspill Which is why lock screens should be lock screens, not a display of recently important things

Apple uses security as their primary excuse for the #AppleBrowserBan. Based on the available evidence the CMA found that the ban could potentially even harm security and we at OWA would argue there is compelling evidence that third party browsers would improve security.

OFCOM created UK phone numbers which aren't real but do ring to use in TV shows (like the US "555" numbers).
Next time an app or website wants your phone number for no good non-spam reason, give it one of these. 07700 900000 and 0121 496 0000 are good.

Twitter, why do you want to do this? 🤔

“Twitter” would like to find and connect to devices on your local network.

🚨BREAKING: Legal documents reveal Ministers knew Covid passes “might” have “small, and probably unmeasurable” impact at best on Covid cases.

This draconian, unevidenced & pointless ID scheme must be scrapped across the UK - now!

We've released a new video in response to Government's £500K PR blitz. If the government weakens encryption, it'll only help predators, criminals, blackmailers & scammers.
