I was almost sick with laughter;

Signal's creator joked the "great reasons" to join, now included "the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations".

What is messaging app Signal and how secure is it?
Experts say using even such a privacy-focussed platform for national security matters is very unusual.

Considering the Huawei Kerfuffle a few years back, I don't really see a difference.
#AusPol

I decided to write a letter to the Minister for Communications, Michelle Rowland, over this:
Dear Minister, I am writing to raise my serious concern that Australia is becoming reliant on Starlink for Internet/Communication services. As you no doubt recall, only a few years ago the Chinese Company, Huawei, was considered too close to the Government of that country and so could not be trusted with data of the Australian Government. We now see reports that the Australian Electoral Commission is set to use Starlink services during the upcoming Election. In similar fashion to the Huawei situation, it is patently obvious that Starlink through its owner is conjoined with the Government of the USA. The current leadership of the USA clearly does not have the interests of countries like Australia at heart and so cannot be trusted with any data involving our own Government. I must implore you to intervene in any use of Starlink for Government requirements. This includes indirect use of their services through other companies such as Telstra. I await your prompt response in this matter.

This is a war on Fact! The Whitehouse is spewing disinformation. How many Americans are only hearing these lies because they only get information via the likes of Twitter or Instagram?

As we all watch the unfolding destruction taking place in the US Government... I can't help wondering if a similar destruction could take place here in Australia?
