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.
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.
Our government does not have our best interests in mind.
