I think it is just Ireland though (which is why I added Ireland to the title).

He says nothing about the PIN, so I don’t think that is what protects Signal as OP writes. It simply doesn’t rely on SS7.

You only type your PIN into Signal about once a month.

I found it confusing. Did he explain how the IMSI number is obtained?

Towards the end he said there was a special “interrogation” command that would reveal the IMSI but that loophole is now closed.

You make it sound like an arthouse movie yet it is the extreme geeky opposite.

Or were you talking about AI summaries in general rather than this one?

I think you and most people in this thread have been mislead by the article because of the closing remark.

Beyond terrorism, the most dangerous pedophiles communicate on Telegram to exchange content.

But it isn’t the private stuff he is being prosecuted for though AFAIK (although it might have been reported by “traitors” within those chats).

Unlike Signal, there are public chat groups and channels and I presume these are the ones which got him into trouble for propagating illegal activity.

From another article…

terrorism, narcotic supply, fraud, money laundering, receiving stolen goods and others… he allowed an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed, which he did nothing to moderate

The platform has faced issues of misinformation and hate speech, especially antisemitic speech following October 7, 2023.

No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.

Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?

Isn’t spoofing a phone number easy for scammers? If so, I don’t understand why there is (admittedly) so little spam on Signal.

Does Signal require 2FA upon registration? (I cannot recall)

If they are the only two options then it isn’t practical. Wouldn’t six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

I am confused were the amendments to stop warrantless surveillance passed or not?

The amendment… would ban warrantless surveillance of US persons…

…Additional amendments… all passed.

Including mine I presume. Not the beehaw one I “crossposted” from. I will post about it on the Boost group, thanks. The developer won’t like being outdone by Thunder.

What happens if you do a search like I did in my screenshot?

Wasn’t too rude. I still am not sure I understand federation between instances.

And I just realised now that my app has a proper crosspost option (which I should have used). Nobody picked me up on that.

I still don’t understand the whole federation thing. Does your app combine the “Privacy” group from lemmy.ml with that of lemmy.world and other lemmy instances?

They are lemmy.world but we are discussing this in lemmy.ml.

Here is my app (Boost) not finding those articles. It is only looking at lemmy.ml.

Not posted here when I checked before posting and I just checked again, searching for Apple then sorting by new.

Maybe the previous person removed the word Apple or it was a different publication which didn’t mention Apple in the headline?

SimpleX uses Signal protocol but without needing your phone number.

I’ll see you on Wire.

Or SimpleX

Fair point. Depends on what the document is used for I suppose — whether such security is an issue (vs simply anonymising the style).
