The use of the app is approved by the Whitehouse for comms, the use of the app likely violates the requirement by the Federal Records Act to preserve and archive communications

And the fact that just last month in February the NSA sent out a bulletin warning about vulnerabilities and exploits that had them deem the app not safe to use so these people should have all known better

No need to worry about tracing calls, when a touch of an icon and you are chatting away with the lord Vladimir.

An Election isn't an Administration.

The new RCS messages solved that between Android and IOS devices.

Is Pam Bondi ready to investigate and prosecute violations of federal records laws? No. She’s loyal to Trump, not the law.

Yeah, we know SCOTUS can't enforce the ruling, but it's an historical record, nonetheless.

Also, the NSA could also monitor the US Military's or Homeland Security or DoD people's further use of Signal and produce (or preserve) documentations that prove persistent violation of US laws.

Perhaps they already have, we will never be told.

Behold their field of fucks.

Note that it is barren.

And by stopping the funds for many domestic and foreign aid programs, there will be many deaths.

their info to Putin, his master

One agent at the Kremlin had to have an immediate extraction from the premises.
Got out in the nick of time.

What exactly are they hiding or planning to hide?

they don't want records archived or used in future legal consequences against them. Records keeping was the downfall of many Nazis at the Nuremburg trials.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_(software)


2010–2013: Origins
Signal is the successor of the RedPhone encrypted voice calling app and the TextSecure encrypted texting program. The beta versions of RedPhone and TextSecure were first launched in May 2010 by Whisper Systems,[55] a startup company co-founded by security researcher Moxie Marlinspike and roboticist Stuart Anderson.[56][57] Whisper Systems also produced a firewall and tools for encrypting other forms of data.[56][58] All of these were proprietary enterprise mobile security software and were only available for Android.

In November 2011, Whisper Systems announced that it had been acquired by Twitter. Neither company disclosed the financial terms of the deal.[59] The acquisition was done "primarily so that Mr. Marlinspike could help the then-startup improve its security".[60] Shortly after the acquisition, Whisper Systems' RedPhone service was made unavailable.[61] Some criticized the removal, arguing that the software was "specifically targeted [to help] people under repressive regimes" and that it left people like the Egyptians in "a dangerous position" during the events of the Egyptian revolution of 2011.[62]

Twitter released TextSecure as free and open-source software under the GPLv3 license in December 2011.[56][63][64][65] RedPhone was also released under the same license in July 2012.[66] Marlinspike later left Twitter and founded Open Whisper Systems as a collaborative Open Source project for the continued development of TextSecure and RedPhone.[1][67]

big fat orange slob's Officials? and he KNEW Nothing?????????

Oh Karoline, please talk him out of this one you lying lump of shit - by the way you need a much bigger cross

Just her lying for five minutes, then skipping off.

That the Biden administration was using Signal when they got there and the Convicted Felon's junta just continued the practice.

Signal touts the privacy of its service — and experts agree it is more secure than conventional texting.

But it could be hacked.

Government officials have used Signal for organizational correspondence, such as scheduling sensitive meetings, but in the Biden administration, people who had permission to download it on their White House-issued phones were instructed to use the app sparingly, according to a former national security official who served in the administration.

The official, who requested anonymity to speak about methods used to share sensitive information, said Signal was most commonly used to notify someone that they should check for a classified message sent through other means.

Best Practices
CISA strongly urges highly targeted individuals to immediately review and apply the best practices below to
protect mobile communications. Highly targeted individuals should assume that all communications between
mobile devices—including government and personal devices—and internet services are at risk of interception
or manipulation. While no single solution eliminates all risks, implementing these best practices significantly
enhances protection of sensitive communications against government-affiliated and other malicious cyber
actors. Organizations may already have these best practices in place, such as secure communication
platforms1 and multifactor authentication (MFA) policies. In cases where organizations do not, apply the
following best practices to your mobile devices.

General Recommendations

Apply these best practices to your devices and online accounts.

1. Use only end-to-end encrypted communications.
 Adopt a free messaging application for secure communications that guarantees end-to-end
encryption, such as Signal or similar apps. CISA recommends an end-to-end encrypted messaging
app that is compatible with both iPhone and Android operating systems, allowing for text message
interoperability across platforms. Such apps may also offer clients for MacOS, Windows, and Linux,
and sometimes the web. These apps typically support one-on-one text chats, group chats with up to
1,000 participants, and encrypted voice and video calls. Additionally, they may include features
like disappearing messages and images, which can enhance privacy....

but they couldn't pull it off. 😂

Snakes ain't in charge no more.

Similar platform but w enterprise features and ability to have records retention.

Interesting.

What additional light might you shine on Wickr and Signal?

I've been out of the intelligence community loop since my father's passing 20 years ago. He was Army Security Agency, Corp Of Engineers, and Signal Corps. I was marching by the time I could walk, lol...
Parade turns and everything!
Anyway, lol...
Thank you for that additional info and I'd truly enjoy it if you're able to elucidate further!

The username password structure lost out to Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp which use phone numbers for id. Signal was designed by an ex NSA guy w CIA money. Signal is opensource but any security it or any of the rest relies on the device's security. Wickr got bought by Amazon and is subscription only now with a heavy enterprise focus. It has use in areas that need a mix of security with convience. Best for financial pros and the medical community where privacy and record retention are important but not for serious security uses. Light military use like calling muster is within its scope.

The main issue is the phone operation system as anything on a screen can be imaged. Signal was funded with a CIA grant and started by a young NSA alum. Wickr had former Nat Sec principals but they had a different focus, they decided to make as secure an app as they could and succeeded with the limit of security of the phone it self and the end user. It is called Wickr as it uses separate encryption for each stage of the process woven like a basket. But these clowns are just going rogue and using the app to evade record keeping laws. My opnion Signal is fine for things like when looking for a job, planning a surprise party and maybe sharing investment tips it isn't for this type of use. Wickr is for low level secure stuff like calling troops to muster, medical professionals, any type of work that requires some information security and privacy.

That's timely and relevant.

Thank you...

At least our enemies won't be in the dark.

De facto surrender.

Sounds good to me.

I don't doubt that it's true. These fascists don't want their high level conversations archived in the records.

I always like to confirm from three or more whenever possible.

I've got two at the moment.

Might you have another?

MSM may be waiting for corroboration.

I'm oven roasting bacon wrapped chili powder rubbed corn on the cob and heatin' up last night's Italian Skillet medley to pair with this Juicy India Pale Ale from Hammond, LA.

It's a gorgeous day down here in North Louisiana.

Spring has sprung and there's not a damn thing that the fascists ruling my state and our nation can do about it!a

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Tulsi Gabbard in hearings today said it was pre-installed on government devices. That doesn't happen without a contract.

yup

It’s so damn easy to extract any data, even as you type it in.

Save yourself that long and tedious video. Videos put me to sleep.

It was all to circumvent government record retention rules. Like Dump, with borrowed and burner phones.

They do whatever the hell they want, and have no clue about any laws previously in place---
and further, they don't care what the laws say.... Trump trumps everything, in their minds.


When we eventually regain control of the government, as we surely WILL,
there must be a reckoning for these lawbreakers---
such as there NEVER was under Clinton or Obama---

They must PAY, so we never need to go back to such a place again.

"Keeping secrets from the US is more important than keeping secrets from our enemies."

I think I read somewhere that the messages disappear at some point, making conversations/!evidence that is usually preserved gone!. No investigations will be able to tract their interactions.

The NSA collects all signals intelligence worldwide.
The NSA has them, they would just merely need to decrypt them... which no one does better.

It's a matter of requesting, litigating, and surviving the ride.

It's the sole purview of FISA court.

Speaking of which, James Boasberg is truly a remarkable individual, a stellar example of judicial resolve and dedication to the rule of law.

Hear, hear!!

I'm four days older than James.
He's an exemplary person, here's to his ongoing success!
