not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
The headquarters are irrelevant.
Is it?
Is that why people trying to protect their privacy use VPN’s/DNS resolvers outside of the US jurisdiction such as Mullvad/Quad9 etc?
And as stated by someone else if you’re using a personal device with a phone number to share classified information outside of a SCIF, you’ve got to ask yourself if there’s a modicum of “sensibility” in the administration here.
It’s like someone else said - I went back and dug a little on old.reddit (RIP r/America) and there’s for some reason its “not being shared” and actually, neutered?
Maybe I’m just a sucker for popcorn but it smells like it shit, it usually is 💩
It is absolutely insane, considering they have SCIF devices / rooms but also the option of “not using off the shelf” shit like Signal and using a phone number. But here they are.
Hell, they could even use something like Briar / Matrix / whatever that is decentralised/does not require a phone number unlike Signal but instead they sent emotes, and classified information detrimental to US citizens over a centralised (third party) platform. Literally, insane.
Are we missing an /s here? Signal is headquartered in the US, and here’s me pondering if they were actually using Telegram instead. Which would’ve been pretty apt.
I think at this point I’d be better off trying to use WeChat…

For a bit of clarity some are not seeing. Google, sanctioned too. Crazy times.
To be fair, it’s running at the top of BBC news here in the UK this morning which is kinda weird. They usually dunk stuff like this unless they too have some angle on it.
It does when you’re sharing nationally classified information with what is a third party, not sanctioned by the administration itself?
