Corn-fed T&S leader. I used to work at a place that made a place like this place. You have rights; fight fascism; use semicolons; vote.

As a favor to me, if you write about this Administration’s free speech positions, avoid giving them too much credit by calling the “hypocrites.” They were NEVER SINCERE about freedom of speech as a value. It was only occasionally a useful cudgel for them to preserve societal and official power.

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.

I'm always lurking! Learning that you and my brother share an abiding interest in Hip Tanaka -- totally worth my yearly (+/-) content creation
