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

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.
So if Google has root privileges (does it automatically on Android? ) then they can screenshot whatever they like?

I mean, they provide the operating system and push updates to your phone via a trusted channel, so yeah you're kinda extending them 100% trust already. I'm more thinking about malware authors here though; criminals or governments (or criminal governments) slipping shady shit onto your phone without your noticing.

Russia is communist? You might want to update your maps.
Do you have brainrot or something? What kind of leaps did you go through to come to this conclusion that I have implied this in any way?
I was referring to ml users as "dirty commies", not Russia.

Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!

Stories like this are exactly why cybersecurity isn’t just about encryption or tools—it’s about understanding behavior, risks, and exposure across systems. Platforms like cyberupgrade.net help orgs get better at that by automating risk awareness and internal training, especially for non-technical teams.

As a long time poster at all types of Lemmy instances, I still don't get why people don't like lemmy.ml
Can someone ELI5?
They are tankies.
tankies are generally people who believe in marxist-leninist, or some other form of socialist beliefs. on its own, it isnt a problem
but these people are also intrinsically gullible consumers and advocates of Russian propaganda, because they cant seem to understand Russia stopped being a socialist country 30-40 years ago, and its just a capitalist mafia state now. But they are programmed to associate their ideology with "The motherland".
America bad, West bad, NATO bad, therfor, anything that opposes them must be good?
advocate for the people who will kill you without a second thought.
Thats .ml and tankies for you

might want to tell the tankies that too. since most of them seem to always want to play devils advocate for the former communist - now capitalist mafia state.

God dammit, the ads finally found their way to Lemmy

That's treason.
Nah, treason is now anything that acts against the sovereign, Trump.

Might want to read up on what happened after all that... Because... yeah.
Or even during. People think about Louis XVI getting chopped, but never the people who did the chopping getting chopped x4.
The real fruits of the revolution were from seeds it planted blooming generations later in the Victorian era. Living through it just sounds like it sucked; they were basically a generation of martyrs for a future of liberal democracy they barely got to see.

Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?
I do. Signal encryption is watertight.

Unless you're the Trump admin and just unlock the door and invite them in.

Or, y'know, a random journalist you fatfingered. I wouldn't really use the word "interception" for either, though.

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.

Double dare you to find out

This isn't a nationalist idea .... the oligarchs have won and are exporting authoritarianism to the globe. Most or the majority of people everywhere just want to have a peaceful life whether they are in the US, Russian, China or anywhere on the globe ... it's oligarchs and wealthy morons that think they can manipulate everyone, everywhere all the time and allow them to become rulers of the universe.

If the GOP had an iota, a molecule, a QUARK of integrity, the cabinet would be impeached en masse. They are a disaster.

Doesn't matter if you're using a compromised device. Given the number of people in the group chat, that at least some of them were using personal devices, and all of them are high value targets... I wouldn't be so confident that this chat wasn't intercepted.

Oh they know. We know.
They know we know.
