When Signal was designed, our threat model was protecting the communications of civil society, journalists, just regular citizens ...
The threat model of military operations & sharing your hate of Europeans was not what Signal was designed for. Ephemeral messages and cryptographic deniability are not fit for communications that require accountability.
But I appreciate their effort to make government more efficient by adding journalists to the chat instead of requiring to go through FOIA.
@fj sharing your hate?
Did you read the release? There wasn't hate of Europeans. There was only discussion of the terms of partnership and normal concerns of political framing.
@volkris@qoto.org @fj@mastodon.social They were talking about Europe being "freeloaders".
Yeah, and that's not hatred. In context of support provided by US policy over the course of administrations that even has more to say about the US than about Europe.
This administration has been describing previous US policy as giving too much, so this is a continuation of complaining about the direction of US policy over administrations, and a pivot based on themes of the campaign that got them elected.
Not about Europe, about the US.
