Yeah, that's not true. Read up on how Signal is engineered to cryptographically prevent themselves from having access to group metadata and message sender metadata that you're claiming they could share with law enforcement:

https://signal.org/blog/sealed-sender/

https://signal.org/blog/signal-private-group-system/

There's plenty of real things you could criticize about Signal, so maybe stick to those and not the misinformation?

I wrote about how to turn in-person meetings into Signal groups, how to manage large semi-public Signal groups while vetting new members, and how to use announcement-only Signal groups, perfect for rapidly responding to ICE raids https://micahflee.com/using-signal-groups-for-activism/

Check it out. I just published TeleMessage Explorer: a new open source research tool https://micahflee.com/telemessage-explorer-a-new-open-source-research-tool/

My latest on the clean OPSEC saga: TeleMessage customers include DC Police, Andreesen Horowitz, JP Morgan, and hundreds more https://micahflee.com/telemessage-customers-include-dc-police-andreesen-horowitz-jp-morgan-and-hundreds-more/

Here's how the TM SGNL server, which had access to plaintext chat logs from people like Mike Waltz, got hacked in about 20 minutes https://www.wired.com/story/how-the-signal-knock-off-app-telemessage-got-hacked-in-20-minutes/ (my first article in WIRED!)

@dalias yup, well said

The source code for the TM SGNL apps (basically a backdoored version of Signal used by Trump officials) is public! Since it's open source, I've pushed it to github for easier research https://micahflee.com/heres-the-source-code-for-the-unofficial-signal-app-used-by-trump-officials/

iOS code: https://github.com/micahflee/TM-SGNL-iOS

I wrote up a detailed analysis of TM SGNL, the unofficial Signal app that senior Trump fascists use to organize their war crimes https://micahflee.com/tm-sgnl-the-obscure-unofficial-signal-app-mike-waltz-uses-to-text-with-trump-officials/

They're explicitly trying to make antisemitic speech legal, so that just anti-Israel speech will be illegal https://forward.com/fast-forward/716347/antisemitism-bill-congress-jews-jesus/

Here's how to set up ~$30 worth of gear to detect cell-site simulators, which are used by police and ICE to spy on phones in a physical location, using @eff's new tool Rayhunter https://micahflee.com/hunting-street-level-cell-phone-surveillance-with-rayhunter/

The leftists vs liberal discourse about yesterday’s big protests is so stupid. There’s nothing wrong with millions of people protesting Trump. There will be more protests. There will be more diversity of tactics. But people in the streets is a good thing

Made a new sign!

Trump admin uses Signal to coordinate military operations, and also accidentally added the editor in chief of The Atlantic to a group about bombing Houthi targets in Yemen that includes JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and other dipshits https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/?gift=kPTlqn0J1iP9IBZcsdI5IVJpB2t9BYyxpzU4sooa69M

Here's the second installment of my Paramilitary Leaks series. How you can set up your computer to read through the leaked militia chats yourself https://micahflee.com/step-by-step-guide-to-reading-the-leaked-militia-chats-yourself/

"I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urgently need legal support, and I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm." https://zeteo.com/p/scoop-emails-show-mahmoud-khalil-ask-columbia-protection-ice

I’m liking the shape of this curve

Congrats everyone! Tesla stock has now dropped down to where it was just before Trump was elected/Elon was appointed Shadow President
