So…there is a concerted campaign, with Musk as its mouthpiece, to discredit Signal and get people to switch to Telegram. It’s disinformation, but there’s also useful information in it. The useful information is that a hideous, powerful, right-wing crank — or whoever’s yanking his chain — really, really wants people to use Telegram. We’ve long known Telegram’s security is weak. But now, in light of this new information, we should move forward assuming that Telegram is actively compromised.

      Musk himself hasn’t actually provided any sources either, all his statements made on Twitter recently are basically pulled from thin air, almost like vague references

        I’m sure it has nothing to do with musk planning his own encrypted Twitter DM feature.

          That already exists, but it’s weak in terms of encryption.

      It’s pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=news

      Of course most of the rest is speculation, but… the article seems honest enough about it?

      The fairest thing you can say about CrossFit is that it’s a nicely unique string to filter out. :)
