"free speech absolutist"

At this point, if you're still using anything even remotely connected to Elon Musk, you get what you deserve. I'm not saying that to be an asshole, either. It's just a simple fact.
-
I'm surprised DOGE themselves aren't using it to skirt FOIA.
Or maybe they are.
-
oh they for sure are. also FOIA is probably dead forever. so. you know. be ready for that little announcement.
-
Remember when he said to "use signal"? Pepperidge farm remembers.

There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you're a whistleblower, you're going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.

privacy for me, but not for thee!

Got it. I'll stop "using" the US government. /j
-
Who says they aren't? Elon has zero problems with double standards.
-
I think we're the ones being used...

A bunch of government agencies are being told to do business exclusively on X, The Everything App.
Musk's also trying to build out a financials tool within his ecosystem and to incentivize more people to do business in his preferred basket of shitcoins.
He's a monopolist, working with other monopolists to corner the Internet as a marketplace. He's not looking to give people a choice to use other tools.
-
He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.
-
Well, them go Telegram? He would not want to block his right wing friends, too, would he?
-
It is shocking how addicted people are to this app that no quantity of diminished functionality will make them leave. It's like that Russian opiate that makes all your skin fall off. Crazy shit.
-
I feel the size way about the current state of television.
-
They fall under the presidential records act so they aren't subject to FOIA until the 2030s.
-
Don't he previously foster Signal in 2021?
