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?
RadioLab covered the dawning of the (serendipitous) discovery a few years ago called: “bringing back gamma”.
Symmetrical transparency.
It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.
And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.
Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc
Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.
He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.
It is last week’s news anyhow.
Yes on Android I can do split tunnelling too as well as 4G. So a total of four IP’s (not three).
It is annoyingly inconsistent that the Android app split tunnelling is done via an exclusion list but the laptop app does it via an inclusion list.
But you only get two IP addresses on each device, right?
“Split tunnelling” lets you use your regular ISP for some apps but Proton for others. So you can use different browsers to appear to be two different people on a single web site.
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 think you and most people in this thread have been mislead by the article because of the closing remark.
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.
