Yeah, changing the relevant laws would be ideal. I just think that probably won’t happen.
New technology that challenges existing laws comes around all the time, and often we just tolerate the regulatory arbitrage. I’d be surprised if senior Biden people didn’t also use signal.
yea, who needs all that fancy expensive security stuff we have invested billions in maintaining...cl
Well, we do, since we don’t collect, store, and analyze eg signals intelligence using asynchronous messaging software
Also, using signal isn’t secure. You need to be an idiot, a full blown unconditional idiot to use it for such important convos.
