If i remember correctly, a few weeks ago a government party had their signal chat leaked. Those people have since ceased using signal right?
Did they also invite a journalist to the group chat?
There's no problem with Signal's encryption. It's the same issue with any and to end encryption scheme, at either end is a person who can very easily copy and paste everything that has been said in the conversation and send it off to anybody they wish.
No one said there was
Well, yes, generally the recipient of a message has to get access to its content.
No of course. I meant that if at least one party in the UK gov is using signal, with end to end encryption, they are no longer using it because they are now considered ‘hostile actors’
