A photograph of Trump administration official Mike Waltz’s phone shows him using an unofficial version of Signal designed to archive messages during a cabinet meeting.
Mike Waltz, who was until Thursday U.S. National Security Advisor, has inadvertently revealed he is using an obscure and unofficial version of Signal that is designed to archive messages, raising questions about what classification of information officials are discussing on the app and how that data is being secured, 404 Media has found.
On Thursday Reuters published a photograph of Waltz checking his mobile phone during a cabinet meeting held by Donald Trump.
The screen appears to show messages from various top level government officials, including JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Marco Rubio.
What stops the government approving the app themselves?
Nothing, but it hasn’t been done, therefore this is illegal.
Lmao that’s pretty funny, why am I getting downvoted
Asking questions with obvious answers. You come off as a sealion troll.
What is a sealion?
Obvious answers for Americans maybe
God forbid you ask a question on the internet these days
Obvious for anyone with an internet connection and half a brain. Case in point, you could google “sealion troll” and get far more info than you’d ever get from a lemmy comment.
Defined as trolling by asking for evidence? What the fuck
What the fuck does that mean
Sea lioning.
