💡Update May 4, 2025: I have published quite the follow-up story, if I may say so myself: The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked Yesterday, I published an analysis of what I could publicly find about TM SGNL, the obscure and unofficial Signal app used by Mike Waltz,

Yesterday, I published an analysis of what I could publicly find about TM SGNL, the obscure and unofficial Signal app used by Mike Waltz, and presumably also by Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and other fascists in Trump’s government. Afterwards, someone privately sent me the URL https://www.telemessage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Signal.zip.

      Apparently archives.

      I guess its a legal requirement for government and the financial sector.

        I archive my signal chats. But, I guess, they need an automatic way to do that. They should ask their precious Grok or whatever tf it’s called.

            Yeah, that would make sense. But this is not the right use case for Signal at all. In fact (and I know I’m preaching to the choir), it defeats Signal’s use case in many ways. I don’t even know what they’re trying to accomplish with this.
