Elon Musk's platform X (formerly Twitter) has implemented blocks on links to Signal.me, a URL shortener used by the secure messaging service Signal. This change affects public posts, direct messages, and profile pages and coincides with actions by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) targeting federal agencies. With nearly 10,000 federal workers having been dismissed as part of government budget cuts, many are relying on encryption to safely communicate sensitive information. Efforts to post these links on X have been met with automated error messages indicating spam protection measures.
The blocking of Signal.me links on X has raised concerns about censorship and the implications for secure communication among federal employees.
Workers are turning to Signal's encrypted messaging platform to securely share information amidst layoffs and government efficiency cuts.
