   This explains SO much!

   It didn't sit right with me when I found out White House personnel were using Signal. I wasn't sure why. Now I do.

   Is Signal really Signal if it's archiving *UNENCRYPED* chats?!?

   And if it's a forked version, shouldn't it be renamed as such?

     Something that stuck with me recently was said by one of the Trump spawn as he was hawking the new 'Trump Mobile' scam.

     He said that since these phones will *eventually* be made in America, they will be secure from 'back doors' that our enemies might put into 'foreign-made' phones. I immediately thought, 'So, we only have to worry about domestic back doors added by known criminals? Great.'

     They're catering to a VERY dumb base.

     My gods they are so dumb.

     Backdoors are backdoors.

     Open to one, open to all.

     They act like you need a US govt clearance to enter those backdoors.

     It's a new cellular service with refurbished T-Mobile phones from three generations ago, painted gold and renamed the 'T1'

     It's about as grifty as you can get.

     @juliewebgirl The government forked working code is my point. Why? And government coders suck (excepting the NSA, but they don't share) so that's already really bad running right into worse.

     Pete Hegseth, the dumbass. I just watched Senator Tammy Duckeorth on the Armed Services Committee tear Pete a new asshole. It was Fantastic.

     Wait. I'm confused.

     "Uh, shouldn't be using non government channels because we document that shit for Reasons."

     The govt made a Signal fork. Govt employees told to use it.

     My whiteboard isn't handy. Who's Pete?

     @juliewebgirl Yeah there's nothing wrong with Signal, or you'd have heard me detonate.

     They're using a *fork*.
     1. Uh, shouldn't be using non government channels because we document that shit for Reasons.
     2. A Fork? You trust a Fork that archives ... let me count the wrong. And I'll bet they didn't vet the code.
     3. Adding a non member of whatever sneaky cabal.

     I'm watching Pete get handed his ass in a Senate hearing.
