Except in this case the reporter is the editor of the Atlantic Magazine, who already called their bluff by publishing the texts Hegseth insisted aren’t classified. Do none of these hypocritical buffoons play checkers, or do they feel THAT insulated from consequences?
Sort off, Signals E2E is while the messages are being transmitted over the Internet, having physical access to the device itself will likely allow for the messages to be retrieved.
I look forward to 13 hearings where the government says "A-okay!" and then doesn't, and then nothing else happens while sucking air through their teeth going "Ooh, sorry, wish there was something I could do. Ah, geeze. Oops." Because there is no shame or accountability now.
Signal is a great app. It is very secure and good for protecting sensitive data against disclosure if used correctly.
Which is precisely why you need strictly enforced laws against government officials using it when they have a legal obligation to keep records and to use secure endpoint devices.
Yeah too late man they put a week lifetime on them. It's why they used it. So you can't know what they are doing. They will lie and there is no record.
It's a playbook they are following deliberately
It's shit you do when you are planning and doing things you don't want to be caught doing.
All their phones should be immediately confiscated, and then copied, to preserve all their interactions. They will just lie, stall and refuse to comply.

That's a whole point of signal.
