  6. If they had used a different messenger with records retention, aside from the fact that this would not have happened, Tulsi Gabbard would be able to recall what she had seen in the chat

    It’s increasingly clear that disappearing messages (1 week expiry) has claimed a victim, and that the Trump administration actually had no idea how much content The Atlantic had seen until it was fully published.

    This is why you don’t let politicians bring their own tools to work.

    On the contrary, it is deliberate obstruction. Look at the chat screenshots in the article:

    theatlantic.com/politics/archi

    The messages have the timer icon, bottom right. This means that #DisappearingMessages was enabled for this #Signal chat.

  14. French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump found | The Guardian

    1/ use only reputable, fully end-to-end encrypted messenger software

  17. One thing I really like about #DisappearingMessages on #WhatsApp (as opposed to #Signal’s implementation) is that if I enable them on my end they are enabled for all new chats (even those I didn’t start myself).

  25. I just realized #signal has moved the menu for #disappearingmessages from the three dots deeper into the chat settings. Can anybody explain the reason?

    It was I the only person quite regularly changing between messages I want to disappear and messages that may stay?
