People say the Trump administration's incompetence and stupidity is Biden's fault:

"Previous administrations, including the Biden White House, did not develop an alternative platform to Signal, one of the people said."

I am sad the Guardian is letting itself get used like this.

The Guardian · Exclusive: how the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg got added to the White House Signal group chatBy Hugo Lowell

[4:56 but no commentary, pure testimony] US House Rep Jason Crow (D), Denver CO, is a vet who brilliantly showed the hypocrisy of the people testifying, how #SignalGate was absolutely classified information... Well done, sir. Thank you for your service.

While leading newspapers were not wrong to skewer the #Trump administration for the use of a commercial messaging app to communicate confidential information—which, it should be remembered, allows officials to illegally destroy records of their deliberations (New York Times, 3/27/25)—the focus on Washington palace intrigue over the bombing of women and children is a stark reminder of corporate media priorities.

> … Fourth, as a first-term Trump administration official and ex-CIA officer, I believe the reason these officials risk interacting in this way is to prevent their communications from being preserved as required by the Presidential Records Act, and avoid them being discoverable in litigation, or subject to a subpoena or Freedom of Information Act request.

That's what a lot of people have been saying from the beginning. #SignalGate #whiskeyLeaks theguardian.com/commentisfree/

The Guardian · I worked in Trump’s first administration. Here’s why his team is using SignalBy Guardian staff reporter

“You don’t need 30-plus years in uniform to know that holding a detailed yet insecure discussion about a pending military mission is wrong; the participants in the chat knew, too. They just didn’t care, not as much as they cared about keeping their communications from being legally discoverable.”

The Guardian · I worked in Trump’s first administration. Here’s why his team is using SignalBy Guardian staff reporter

Explained: U.S. government Signal "leak" a.k.a. "Signalgate"

TL;DR: There was no leak or cryptographic failure from Signal. Instead, the incident was due to human error where a government official mistakenly added a journalist to a Signal group chat.

Signal remains a secure and reliable platform for communication, and you should encourage your friends and family to use it.

Ich halte Signal weiterhin für eine gute Alternative. Dass es auch von Sicherheitskreisen genutzt wird, spricht eher für dessen Sicherheit als dagegen. Außerdem handelt es sich um ein von einer Stiftung betriebenes OpenSource-Projekt, das nicht von Tech-Millardären abhängt.
Wenn Du das jetzt aufgrund von #SignalGate ablehnst, schüttest Du das Kind mit dem Bade aus, da ist nichts gewonnen.
Außerdem wäre noch #Threema zu empfehlen, aber das nutzen halt bisher nicht Viele.

Some tracking of the WhiteHouse Signal Yemen scandal’s footprints. Some lead to hostility against Iran. However, US attacked Yemeni civilians again, destroying hospital. Yemen respected ceasefire in Gaza. The investigation is NOT over. via Seymour Hersh
