A black graphic with large abstract purple bubbles in the background. The white text says: WARNING: DO NOT RUN AI AGENTS ON ANY DEVICE USED TO ACCESS SIGNAL What is an AI Agent? Agentic AIs are programs that access all the data on your device to do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall. An AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. Why not? AI Agents save everything that appears on your screen, including Signal messages. Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance. Is Signal still safe? This is a human error problem, not Signal's error. Signal remains the best tool out there for private messaging. What the absolute F#@K?! How can I stop this? Help keep each other safe by sharing this message to your Signal groups and contacts. Learn more + yell at Big AI over at AISnitches.com - Your friends at Fight for the Future

Warning: Do not run AI Agents on any device used to access Signal or other content that you want to keep safe + unsurveilled.
