Elon Musk’s X Blocks Links To Signal App As Federal Workers Turn To Encrypted Messaging Amid DOGE Fallout: Report

Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has started blocking links to Signal.me, a URL shortener for the privacy-focused messaging app Signal. Users are experiencing difficulties sharing Signal.me links through public posts, direct messages, or profile pages. Musk had previously supported Signal, which led to a rise in its downloads. X has not commented on the situation, leading to speculation about its motivations. Critics point out that this move contrasts with Musk's portrayal as a proponent of free speech, as his management of X has included restrictions on content that opposes his views. Additionally, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a program Musk supports, aims to cut federal costs, affecting nearly 10,000 employees and possibly eliminating agencies like USAID. Many former employees are turning to Signal for secure communication, highlighting the importance of privacy in digital communication.

X is blocking links to Signal, a secure messaging platform used by federal workers

Elon Musk's platform, X (formerly Twitter), has imposed restrictions on links to Signal.me, a URL shortener for the encrypted messaging service Signal. This affects direct messages, public posts, and user profile pages. In response to the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) actions targeting federal agencies, many federal employees are using Signal for secure communication. DOGE's initiatives have led to the dismissal of nearly 10,000 federal workers, with some agencies, like USAID, potentially facing shutdowns. Users attempting to share links to Signal.me on X encounter error messages indicating that the action cannot be completed due to spam protection measures.
