"We won't talk to you because you won't talk to us!" 📱 Vietnam orders telecoms to block Telegram for "not cooperating" in monitoring user activities. The irony of blocking a messaging app for not messaging about messages is *chef's kiss* 🤌 #Privacy #Messaging

"If you attempt to take a screenshot of Signal Desktop when screen security is enabled, nothing will appear. This limitation can be frustrating, but it might look familiar to you if you’ve ever had the audacity to try and take a screenshot of a movie or TV show on Windows. According to Microsoft’s official developer documentation, setting the correct Digital Rights Management (DRM) flag on the application window will ensure that “content won’t show up in Recall or any other screenshot application.” So that’s exactly what Signal Desktop is now doing on Windows 11 by default.
A stylized close-up crop of a movie screenplay that says "INT. COPILOT+ PC MANUFACTURING FACILITY - NIGHT - METALLIC SHELVES in endless rows stretch into the darkness. Two figures crouch in the shadows. ALICE: DRM technology has been consistently used against us. BOB: It won't be the first time we've turned the tables. ALICE: My life has always felt like a movie."
Apps like Signal have essentially no control over what content Recall is able to capture, and implementing “DRM” that works for you (not against you) is the best choice that we had. It’s like a scene in a movie where the villain has switched sides, and you can’t screenshot this one by default either."

"[Vincent] Ramos makes some very incriminating statements to the FBI in an undercover operation, and they arrest him. And they say; you need to put a backdoor into Phantom Secure, and let us read all of the messages of the 10,000 users (or whatever) ... or we're going to arrest you."

Lately I've been ramping up pushing Signal to people I text regularly through other apps. The conversation tends to go like this after I get a message:
Me: (responding to message and then:) By the way, I'm not really on (whatever this app is) anymore. I use Signal pretty exclusively now.
Them: Oh, I don't have Signal.
Me: Darn
I've made my choice, you made your choice. You know where to find me. Big. Shrug.
(That being said, some people do say oh I'll download it!)
