Apparently former free-speech-absolutist (lol), encrypted-messenger-app-Signal recommending Elon Musk has decided that it would be a travesty to allow other people to speak freely about the encrypted messenger app Signal. Henceforth, it’s been noticed that any links to “signal.me” are blocked on Twitter/X.

Signal.me URLs allow users to send out a link where others can quickly contact them through the Signal app.

Signal is a great app. Everyone should use it, and not just because of the latest whim of the world’s richest pub bore. As Disruptionist notes in their article publicising this:

Signal has been especially important over these past few weeks as federal employees have reached out to journalists to blow the whistle on what Elon Musk’s DOGE have been doing with access to data within numerous government agencies.

An astonishing coincidence I’m sure.
