As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia

Then this is for you!
I need to acquire mine at some point
-
These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.
You are assuming it wasn't puposeful. And clearly it's been going on a while. They only got caught due to their incompetence
-
Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?
You jump to the assumption they weren't on an innocent beach holiday in Russia? You're paranoid.
-
They should have left their personal phone at home, and brought a burner. Without the fun apps on it.
-
Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted.
Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?
-
Literally zero chance they weren't monitoring his phone while he was in the country.
I wouldn't worry so much about monitoring the phone, signal does a good job.
I'd be more worried that they weren't just given the convo or managed to lift the multi-device QR willingly or subserviently.

I don't think it can, it's a flagship because it's the first instance, being run by the main devs as a demonstration of Lemmy's capabilities so it's always on the latest beta version at least.
But, they could just stop using it as a tool to further their own political stances and have it actually be a "generalist" instance. For that though, they'd have to give up being the admins of it, which they'll probably never do.
It is of concern yes, but maybe if the wider Lemmy-verse defeded from them it would at least be easier to say that their views are not shared by any of us to any newcomers/outsiders by being able to point to a clear and visible action like defederation.

Do we need users who cannot mentally separate that?

Love the way THE BBC is trying to make signal sound like some hackers playset, really shows how much the UK gov hate encryption or people having any privacy at all.
The UK is an utter shithole when it comes to privacy, always has been. It doesn’t look to be getting better any time soon either.

Isn't hard to look up the BBC site, their pretty much making signal sound like an insecure hacking tool only used by dissidents.
Why would dissidents want to use something insecure?
-
Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
They been exporting since the 80'with trump

Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted.
Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?
-
These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.
Goons. Absolute apes
-
Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?
Less. If someone has root privs on your phone they can screenshot without your notice and send those shots wherever they want, encryption or self-deleting messaging apps be damned.

Lol I wear my ban with pride. All you have to do is go over there and use the word 'tankie'. They really don't like that word for some reason.
next step is get banned from progressive politics
a ml proxy hidden in plain sight
-
Only once, before the immunity kicks in
It might happen twice, but that's the max, I'm pretty sure.

The Guy's name is putin.
Krasnov’s Daddy

Hang them all

I find you in every thread shitting on ml at the vaguest mention of Russia or China though. Before anyone ever brought up anything related to them. It's almost like you have an agenda. Or vendetta.
Please show me on this doll where the dirty commies hurt you:
