I don't think it follows that they selected the archiving messenger because they wanted disappearing messages. The whole disappearing messages thing was just internet speculation.

This TM SGNL app is compatible with legit Signal clients and servers. It’s also possible that they are using this app to archive chats that other parties _believe_ to be disappeared. In other words, set your chats to disappear in 5 minutes and convince your target to dish some sensitive info. They think it’s off the record, but it’s instantly archived

  The counterparty should be naive or stupid to think that whatever they send has no chance to be recorded forever. They should always assume otherwise. The only interesting use case of disappearing messages is that messages one receives will disappear securely, even if they forget about receiving such messages, or have no access to the device at the time.

    Naive or stupid? No way, not the counterparties of alcoholic media personalities.

Whether it was for that purpose or not, the messages did wind up disappearing. The CIA admitted it in a court filing. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/us/politics/cia-director-leaked-chat.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/us/politics/cia-director-...

No it was reported by the journalist who was in the chat. > Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-a...
