Meanwhile, back in the reality-based world...This is a lie.
FactCheck.org: Was the Signal Chat Illegal?
Department of Defense regulations specifically prohibit use of the (Signal) app to share “non-public DoD information.”
“Unmanaged ‘messaging apps,’ including any app with a chat feature, regardless of the primary function, are NOT authorized to access, transmit, process non-public DoD information.
This includes but is not limited to messaging, gaming, and social media apps. (i.e., iMessage, WhatsApps, Signal),” according to a 2023 DoD memo.
NPR reported that just days after the Signal chat on March 15, the Pentagon issued a warning that a “vulnerability has been identified in the Signal Messenger Application” and that “Russian professional hacking groups are employing the ‘linked devices’ features to spy on encrypted conversations.”
Objection overruled, "Counselor".
