people need to get real about this. adversarial behavior is real and does not go away through asking nicely or appeals to the misinformation police or the platform or whatever. we need better epistemics

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported.

It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.
In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

When the only people who have decent security are the competent few, many of whom became competent because they have something particularly worth concealing, there are fewer traffic sources who stand out more and are easier to individually target for endpoint compromises

The laser is for the people.
