- almosthere 1y agoeh, probably someone that works at signal.

- ggm 1y agoTo paraphrase Oscar Wilde: > Lady Bracknell: To lose one [signal conversation], Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose [two] looks like carelessness.
- reptilian 1y ago... to lose two looks like a concerted campaign by NRO and NSA to undermine the administration's communications and the public's perception of Signal security.
- goku12 1y agoYou don't need NRO or NSA for that. You just need a few ordinary unauthorized people. And that's what happened in these instances. And nobody blamed this on Signal. Signal never claimed that their app is good enough for this. To summarize, incompetence and carelessness are much simpler explanations here than a conspiracy theory.
- ggm 1y agoTotally agree. This is Hanlon's razor territory. Also, before we leap to his alcohol problem, Churchill drank at levels which would horrify most doctors. Moran (his gp) didn't seem too bothered, he even wrote him a script for it during prohibition. Churchill was probably a high level functioning alcoholic-depressive. I don't think Hegseth has the same capacities.
- tmaly 1y agoImagine if he is doing this on purpose to feed bad information to reporters to trace them?
- pmags 1y agoWhat is this, "Opsec for Dummies"?
- rl3 1y agoThat sounds like it'd be an improvement, actually.
- cantrecallmypwd 1y agoWell, he just wanted to make doubly certain to prove laws and competency were irrelevant.
