Bye grande bad dilantic clone and yes this is a good example of how security is NOT implemented in software development

Technical analysis of the unofficial Signal app Trump officials used
micahflee · TM SGNL, the obscure unofficial Signal app Mike Waltz uses to text with Trump officialsYesterday, a Reuters photographer captured a photo of the freshly-ousted former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz checking his Signal messages during a Trump cabinet meeting. If you're not familiar with Waltz, he's most well known for inviting The Atlantic's editor-in-chief to secret Trump administration war crimes Signal group. They discussed,
The world is falling apart and we need alternatives to US-American software, because most of it is from there and because they don't have a democracy anymore, we have to find those alternatives fast to protect our freedom.
In the meantime @signalapp is like: "We have those annoying animated Gifs on Desktop, now!"
Gifs in communication are the most annoying thing! It's not only degenerating real communication, it's degenerating people and their brains.
And even in the Signal app for phones I have to delete all animated garbage, because there is no option to deactivate this bullshit.
It's nice that Signal is open source, but because it's centralized and in the US, we might look for something else. Should we go back to XMPP to get our freedom back?

#censorship #Signalapp
COMMS ALERT:
Looks like the TakeitDown act supposedly targetting nonconsensual nudes but impossible for "covered platforms" to comply with has passed Congress.
This could mean real trouble for encrypted messenger services like Signal that have a "business presence" inside the U$. Signal could have to shut down, the code be forked, and a great deal of rewriting done to run multiple instances on expendable, possibly Torified underground servers.
Security upgrades in Matrix might be cheaper and more effective than that.
A possible bypass for Signal would be to force all messages to be disappearing messages, with a maximum available time equal to or shorter than the response time required by this new law-or even simply a new limit to how long Signal SERVERS retain an undelivered or backed up message to that time limit. A user's cell phone is not a "covered platform" as it is not a "web service" at all.
For you as an activist this means to learn to use Matrix or another decentralized encrypted chat system as well as Signal. Signal is believed by many to have stronger encryption than Matrix, but it's anyone's guess if its central server model can survive Trump and the current wave of repressive legislation.

Since I turned my back on #whatsapp, I today saw the new UI with the #Meta AI ring (formerly known as #cortana [this should definitely be checked regarding copyright violation]). As far as I understood there is no option existing for deactivation. A lot of actions are no longer possible without activating the AI. Is #signal #signalapp planning to implement some kind of AI bullshit?
