X is blocking links to Signal, a secure messaging platform used by federal workers
TechCrunch has attempted to share a link via post and DM, but it failed due to the blockage. When trying to share via a post, a message pops up that says: “Something went wrong, but don’t fret – let’s give it another shot.” Any message with a link to Signal.me also fails to send, and a pop-up appears that says, “This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can’t complete this action right now. Please try again later.”
It’s not clear why X is blocking links to Signal, but this move could potentially hinder the communication of federal workers who use the platform for secure messaging.
