  Can we just imagine if al Qaeda had added a journalist to their group chat regarding a bombing?

  Military gear generally has tons of anti-moron safeguards. Unfortunately, Signal is for civilians.

    Which also means these conversations were on an unapproved app on an unapproved device. Actual government phones wouldn’t be able to get Signal, right?

      I have a government-issued iPhone. It has Signal on it, and I have access to the appstore. It’s also not allowed to be used for anything but unclassified communication and isn’t permitted inside restricted areas.

      Government secure phones are special handmade by the NSA. They are nothing like civilian phones. Obama got the NSA to lock down his Blackberry but I doubt that is doable with today’s mainstream smartphones.

  about your plans for bombing an apartment building in Yemen.

    Yup, people are going to die, and it is going to be their fault… and they won’t care. Maybe the American people will. 🤔

      Americans will be pissed, but at the end of the day nothing measurable will come of it. We’d have to be straight starving to get off our asses and get shit done.

  Your threat model is being authoritarian + a moron.

  They’re using Signal instead of official channels because they don’t want their conversations documented for accountability.

    I was most disappointed when I read that he left the group chat. Missed opportunity for some top-class trolling:

    Although that may have had him arrested/raided for accessing most secret information he lacks clearance for, so leaving upon finding out it was the real thing and not a joke group was the better move.

      The reporter is a former IDF soldier, there is no way he would face any real blowback from Trump. There is a reason they had his number to add to the group and it’s because they were already feeding him information. The Atlantic is just a left coded mouthpiece for the State Department.

      He didn’t “access” anything, it was sent directly to him.
