One of the potentially bad things here is that this tarnishes the reputation of Signal. When in fact it is probably the best option for most people from a privacy perspective.
Probably should be waking everyone up to the truth that "best option " doesn't exist. If you might regret anyone knowing, don't put it out on social media.
Signal is not social media, it is an encrypted private messaging application.
It wasn't Signal that failed, it was down to a bunch of incompetent people being put in charge of the US.
Of course even on an app like Signal you need to trust the people you are communicating with.
When the Enigma code machine was captured in WW2, Churchill did not immediately tip his hand and alert Germany to allied code breaking. US enemies were doing the same until Trump's Apple Dumpling Gang got caught.
Now I'm worried when they seize my phone at the airport they'll find my war plans to invade Paul Weiss, to turn their offices into beachfront property with a giant casino and claim it was historically always part of Skadden.
Well at least you wont have to hear the phrase "HUMINT" anymore, because by now every last one of them will be putting in their extract codes, and are probably looking through the classifieds wondering what career to switch to...
