TLDR: some government/military official added a reporter to a Signal group were some high profile people were discussing and sharing war plans. The app's encryption is perfectly fine. It's just clickbait.
They weren’t war plans. They were attack plans. /s 🤦♂️
genocide assisting murder plans
Its not click bait, its a great layman's terms explanation of the app and what it does. This is the kind of article I would send to my parents who are basically tech illiterate when this topic inevitably arises. It also clarifies points that were poorly reported by other outlets, which is necessary to call out, especially in our current informational climate.
What about it is clickbait? That title is really upfront about signal's encryption being fine.
