    ill happily say it again.
    SIGNAL IS SECURE
    BUT every pipe leaks at both ends. If you have a snitch in the group chat, or someone gets access to a phone of an activist, then they’re in.
    one reason why disappearing messages is so important.
    fuck fud

      Disappearing messages are only good for all the messages that have been deleted already because they will just copy all of the new messages someplace else as soon as they have access.

        right, but if the cops get ahold of a phone they won’t be able to copy all of the past messages….

        it’s kinda obvious that they can copy messages as they receive them.

      This is the answer.
      They say the leak came from a well-informed source. That source I promise you is a member of that chat room. They probably have somebody, entirely possibly a deep cover federal agent, who is posing as an activist in order to gather intel.

        Deep cover? Hah. No, I’m sure they just clicked a join link from social media while sitting in their office. There’s no super secret squirrel shit going on here.
