Summary

Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) is blocking links to Signal.me, a tool used by Signal for private messaging.

The blocks affect public posts, direct messages, and profiles, with users receiving error messages when attempting to share links.

The move coincides with mass layoffs of federal employees under Musk’s DOGE, prompting many to use Signal for secure communication.

While Musk claims to support free speech, he has a history of restricting critical voices on X.

    Factually untrue…

    But that hasn’t stopped the media from saying stuff about what’s going on, so I guess it makes sense seeing it repeated on social media
