If “sharing information about suspicious cars that drove by on the Internet” is illegal, than Kash Patel better be cracking down hard on Nextdoor before he bothers with Signal.
Important: Kash Patel’s egregiously anti-first-amendment statements here and Cam Higby’s claim to have “infiltrated” huge ICE-monitoring chats do NOT mean Signal is somehow “compromised.”
“An asshole manages to get added to some massive + intentionally minimally-screened chats” is not surprising.

FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says
FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.
