Summary
X is blocking “Signal.me” links used by federal workers reportedly exposing issues at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The policy, similar to earlier bans on competing platforms’ links, affects posts, DMs, and bios.
The change, first noticed on February 16 by cybersecurity researchers at Mysk, does not affect “Signal.org” links.
Users can currently bypass the block using URL shorteners or encoding, though these methods may soon be stopped.
And the hits just keep on coming… So much for the ‘free speech’ he keeps babbling on about.
That was always the case with these guys.
Always. They don’t, and never did, give a fuck about free speech. They only care about seeing that THEY and their allies have unfettered access to a platform to say toxic things.
Yep. Bellends, the lot of them.
Happy I’m on the Fediverse. This the exact shit we attempted to warn people about forever.
NOT LIKE THAT
Streisand Effect!
I have a feeling it won’t work to the same degree since all the otber platforms are also owned by Trump stooges.
Yeah, but FREEZED PEACH, and the world’s town square, AMIRIGHT, you guyyyzzzz?
I just got most of my friends and family on signal. I’m kind of scared of our government for the first time in my life.
This is the dumbest possible way to spin this censorship.
