Sounds like a bunch of traitors.
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.
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.
It also goes to show that Signal may actually be worth its salt in regards to security.
You use Signal to avoid government surveillance.
I use Signal to avoid government accountability.
We are not the same.
Well I use it and have put it on relatives phones so they can communicate with me easily, ideally though I’d use Threema but yeah signals a lot better than other free alternatives.
Doesn’t matter if the phone is rooted.
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.
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.
Important reminder. Why is this downvoted?
Because it’s largely irrelevant? If someone says “This is the best lock you can use on your front door” and someone else replies “not if you leave the key in the lock” do you think that’s a important thing to mention? No lock is safe if you leave the key in the lock. Maybe it’s important to remind people that you shouldn’t leave your key in the lock, but that statement says nothing about the security of the lock.
Similarly maybe it’s important to remind people that their phones might already be rooted, but that statement says nothing about whether Signal is good or bad from a security point of view.
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.
Are they?
No.
Graham Fraser: Technology reporter.
Signal, compared with other messaging apps, has added security features to protect the privacy of its users. Conversations on the app are end-to-end encrypted, which means they can only be read by the recipients. Signal can’t even read what has been sent. But security is only as good as the person using it.
Damage control look up their original articles on trump.
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? 🤔
That’s treason.
Oh they know. We know.
They know we know.
They know that we know that they know that we know!
Everybody knows.
Nah, treason is now anything that acts against Trump, the sovereign.
I’m sure that everyone, including trump will feel the full force of the law. The FBI will immediately investigate make arrest and punish everyone involved in this blatant act of anti-patriotism and treason.
Right?
If the GOP had an iota, a molecule, a QUARK of integrity, the cabinet would be impeached en masse. They are a disaster.
It’s almost incomprehensible. This is historical, it will be in history books in a hundred years.
Hang them all
The French Revolution can’t come back soon enough
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. And then, yes, Louis XVIII.
The real fruits of the revolution were from the seeds it planted blooming decades later in the Victorian era. Living through it just sounds like it sucked. They were a generation of martyrs for a liberal democratic future they barely got to see the beginnings of.
Well said
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
Goons. Absolute apes
An insult to apes.
I’m shocked…but I’m also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can’t one up themselves and then they go and do it.
And they do so on a weekly basis if not daily
Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!
I’m looking forward to anyone using the word ‘signal’ around trump being suspected of mocking him.
Sensitive egotistical maniacs are so much fun to placate.
I need something China for the bingo card
Jfc dude I’m dead 🤣
These people are incompetent on a scale barely understandable.
And it’s so frustrating that they are not in jail.
I assume for that to happen, a significant portion of the American political system would be in trouble. It’s not so much that Trump is some unique phenomenon, it’s more like he’s not subtle about it. We’re being screwed every day by the leader class, they’re just quiet enough about it that most people go back to their NASCAR and high-fructose corn syrup snacks.
I think Trump’s actions are not particularly unique, but he’s doing actions that have been previously condemned and in the minority. I’m not so naive as to think that all corruption can be eliminated, but when it’s out in the open and the people are getting away with it in the open, that’s much worse than what had happened before. Trump is a unique phenomenon in that sense and the sheer number of illegal things he’s doing.
We were heading towards something like Trump eventually if you track what monied interests, through the GOP, have been doing since at least when Nixon resigned. I’m sure the GOP were hoping to pick their guy instead of Trump, with Russia’s help, taking advantage of what they were setting up.
I get that there have also been corrupt Dems, and there so are, like Nancy Pelosi, but they’re not the primary avenue of the oligarchs to enact their agenda. Though they have captured the Dem leadership as well.
But I would welcome a more robust system to root out corruption. And for laws to be applied equally. If that takes out a significant portion of the government, then I think that’s fine, as long as it’s not some bullshit like what’s currently going on.
The Guy’s name is putin.
Krasnov’s Daddy
Literally zero chance they weren’t monitoring his phone while he was in the country.
Why monitor what he went there to inform them about?
*receive orders about
You jump to the assumption they weren’t on an innocent beach holiday in Russia? You’re paranoid.
Who’s to say this member in Russia doesn’t live there…
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.
Fucking traitor scum.
