As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia
-
These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.
-
It also goes to show that Signal may actually be worth its salt in regards to security.
Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted.

Literally zero chance they weren't monitoring his phone while he was in the country.

Are you just figuring that out now? Attacking all its allies is what did it for me.
The US is a captured state now, and there are only a few ways out; voting is not one of them.
Welcome to the party pal, most of us knew it was traitor town when "Russia if your listening" was said on national TV.

Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?

Hmm yes, how dare I pushback against authoritarian misinformation, propaganda, censorship and toxicity. I do what I can within my power to prevent the Lemmy-verse from garnering a rep outside for being "That Tankie Place" or worse, Voat 2.0
I've already seen it on Reddit and testimonials here (from those that actually tried to give it another shot, who knows how many won't ever come back) "I tried that Lemmy place, but it was just a bunch of tankies" is not a pleasant comment to read outside the Lemmy-verse
What I've documented on [email protected] is but a mere fraction of the crap they pull and focused on just .ml
Btw, tankies are authoritarian "communists"
Right. And I'm on board with that and that's not what I am saying. If I mention "Russia bad" in a thread, without any ml presence in the whole post, I don't expect someone to derail my thread with their anti-ml agenda. Why not keep it there where it's relevant: an actual ml poster excusing Russia's behaviour?
Or, as you do, in your welcome messages to new users.

Then this is for you!
I need to acquire mine at some point

You are assuming it wasn't puposeful. And clearly it's been going on a while. They only got caught due to their incompetence
-

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.

Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?

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.

The Guy's name is putin.

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

Rooted phones with signal are more secure or less secure?
