It was a confusing Apples Vs. Oranges comparison. A SCIF and Signal were contrasted with one another, like they were providing the same or similar facilities.
There are permissible chat applications that support Top Secret tier information which is actually akin to Signal (e.g. JWICS, DCS, platforms). A SCIF is a secure place, you still need communications technology to get information to and from different remote secure locations inc. SCIFs to even hold those meetings.

- Someone1234 2y agoA SCIF is a place. It may be a meeting room, but it could also be an entire building with multiple desks. Signal is a service/app. Apples and Oranges.
- Hikikomori 2y agoSo both are chat rooms.
- epistasis 2y agoThere was no confusion there. Yea, one is a room and one is a means of communication on mobile devices, but nothing was said that implied differently.
