Why not? It's not classified, right?

Read the information. It was MISTAKENLY sent to the reporter, as well as to other people that had no reason to get such information

well that's certainly a screw up .. but that doesn't mean it was a screw up by major appointees .. it could have been a screw up by a staffer .. however apparently no harm was done and the mission to devastate your anti semitic terrorists Nazi comrades was successful !

I heard that the Houthis launched 5 Aircraft Carriers at us because of the leak.

OMG

No application is flawless in reality. Therefore, US government officials should exercise caution when using any software.

Signal is highly regarded for its robust security features, but like any system, it has limitations:

###Limitations of Signal's Security Features###

Physical Access Risks:

If someone gains physical access to your device, they can read your Signal messages. To mitigate this, users can enable a Signal PIN and lock their phone12.

Disappearing messages can add an extra layer of security by automatically deleting read messages2.

Phone Number Registration:

Signal requires a phone number for registration, which could potentially reveal your identity. However, users can now use Signal usernames to communicate more anonymously12.

Device Security:

If a device is compromised with malware, hackers could capture keystrokes or screenshots, bypassing encryption. Users should be cautious about malware on their devices2.

Metadata and Tracking:

While Signal encrypts message content, it cannot prevent ISPs or governments from tracking metadata like who communicated with whom and when1.

Data Backup and Synchronization:

Signal does not allow message history backups, and data is stored locally on devices. If data is lost or deleted, it cannot be restored34.

Signal does not support simultaneous use across multiple devices without linking them through a primary smartphone3.

External Service Vulnerabilities:

Signal's security can be impacted by vulnerabilities in external services it relies on, such as the 2022 Twilio hack, which affected some Signal users3.

User Behavior:

No security system can protect against user mistakes, such as sharing confidential information with the wrong person5.

Why did Biden implement the use of it?

 

[Mac1958]

Why not? It's not classified, right?

I notice that the Trumpsters aren't upset at all about what these people were doing.

They have no problem with the fact that the top people in our government are so amazingly loose and cavalier with critical information, or that our (former) friends and (former) allies in Europe know these people despise them and look down on them. And everyone else in the world now knows it, too.

They're upset that Goldberg reported it.

This just gets uglier. What a fuckin' mess. And there's nothing that can be done about it, and zero accountability. Strap in.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

No argument. The only off-ramp is if Goldberg hacked his way in, or if there was a software glitch that put him in.

I still have a hard time understanding how he got in, especially since he is so against all things Trump.

No excuse, secure software should have been used. Lesson learned.

He was invited, lol.

How could they inadvertently use signal?

I can't believe how often I'm having to offer this as a possible explanation..."they didn't know any better"?

When this embarrassing clown show was being put together by the biggest clown of all, I pointed out here that staffers, groups and foreign countries would have to consider NOT sharing some information with these people.

I've been concerned about two things: First, that their ideologies are questionable and possibly dangerous. And second, that their complete lack of organizational knowledge and experience would create dangers.

And there ya go. And it happened this quickly, with several of them at once.

Mac1958 is really bitter that the Dynamic Duo of joe biden and kamala harris did not get a second term to flood America with another 12-20 million migrants to complete the invasion of America that he voted for in 2020

Bummer, huh?

 

[SweetSue92]

Sue, if you weren't ancient and you were still a young mom, and you saw your 10 year old swing a bat over his younger sister's head, as hard as he could, pretending it was a baseball, would you reprimand and confront him about what could have happened, or would you simply let it go, by saying, well, he didn't make contact, did he?

Guess my age, first.

Second, this happened in my classroom a couple weeks ago. Kid took a swing at another kid with a hard object. Special ed teacher asked, "well did he actually hit him?"

So maybe I'm holding Trump to the same standards we hold kids in school now. Amazing, huh?

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Anything the enemy can learn about the adminstration's thinking or possible future action is good for them and bad for us

And maybe they never would have seen any of the texts if not for one glory hunting slime journalist

Does Signal encrypt it's messages?

 

[kyzr]

CIA director John Ratcliffe testified that Signal is legal to use.

Does Signal encrypt it's messages?

yes

 

[Marener]

CIA director John Ratcliffe testified that Signal is legal to use.

And you believed him?

 

[Mac-7]

Does Signal encrypt it's messages?

News, when the story first broke it was reported that Signal was not approved for government use and I was critical of Walz for allowing it

But later we learned that it was widely used even by the CIA

Now the only problem was allowing a hostile lib reporter into the chat

Is the Suez Canal the only shipping lane on Earth?

That's like saying, are the apartment complexes in Aurora which where taken over by Tran de Aragua the only places to rent?

Obliterating the Houthis who attack ships, just like obliterating Somali pirates off the coast of Africa, is necessary.

But only about 3% of US shipping traffic goes through the Suez canal. About 40% of Europe's does.

Europe should help pay in some way.

 

[kyzr]

And you believed him?

yep. Can you prove otherwise?
