X, the social platform that is previously known as Twitter, apparently blocks links to Signal, the encrypted message platform, according to journalist Matt Binder and other accounts firsthand.
Binder wrote in his disruptionist newsletter on Sunday that links to Signal.me, a domain that offers a way to connect directly to signal users, are blocked on public messages, direct messages and profile pages. Error messages – including “message that did not send”, “something went wrong” and profiles tagged as “considered” malware “or” potentially harmful ” – have no direct suggestion of a block. But messages on the rack, report, rack, And other sources suggest that signal.me on the left in general are prohibited.
Signal.me links already posted on X prior to the recent change, now show a “warning: this link can be unsafe” interstitial page instead of opening the link directly. Connections to signal manuals and the signal start page still function on X.
Binder, a former Mashable reporter who was once blocked by X (then Twitter) for reporting owner Elon Musk and accounts with regard to his private jet trips, has credited the first reports to an X post of security research agency MySK.
