“Elon Musk is taking aim at federal workers and organizations, through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Now, Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) is blocking Signal.me links, a URL used by encrypted messaging service Signal that allows people to quickly contact others directly, the blog Disruptionist reports. Federal workers have used Signal to covertly report relevant and dangerous activities. Anyone who attempts to post a Signal.me link in a DM, public post or on their profile page receives error messages such as, ‘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.’ Other responses include, ‘We can’t complete this request because this link has been identified by X or our partners as being potentially harmful.’ Engadget confirmed the block in a test.” (02/17/25)
