I think you describe yourself Paul. Also strange how you keep attacking Pete Hegseth, instead of Mike Waltz, the one who invited Goldberg, "by mistake". But if we assume Waltz is not a deep-state plant, as a software engineer, I'd have to conclude the Signal "fiasco" was a software bug, NOT a user bug. There should have been a ConfirmIdentities function and a ConfirmNeedToKnow function before ever being allowed to be used by the government. Signal comes pre-installed on every gov phone because of Biden, because the creators of Signal are Pro-Ukraine war, one was even born in Kiev. It's open-source software which was meant to shield people from the government, not the government from the people. It is designed with "anonymous credentials", including in groups. Signal Groups V2, removes some of the anonymity by moving the certifications from the client to the server. Signal has now made a joke of itself by not immediately acknowledging the current problems with the app design and instead calling it user error. It may have even been a set trap. At any rate, Signal will be left in the dust now by companies that want to fix their users problems rather than laugh at them. Indeed, I started out working in DOD and I'd like to know how government employees were mandated to use buggy open-source software in the first place. Sure it's got middleman encryption protection, but that's just a function call as well. Why didn't Biden's DOD build a safe, user-friendly, bullet-proof version for government use? WHY did they use the "Ukrainian/leftist/open-source version"? That's the question that should be asked.
"There should have been a ConfirmIdentities function and a ConfirmNeedToKnow function before ever being allowed to be used by the government.
Yes, but Whos fault is this?
"Signal comes pre-installed on every gov phone because of Biden"
Under which administration do federal officers and employees currently work and operate?
"Signal has now made a joke of itself by not immediately acknowledging the current problems with the app design and instead calling it user error."
Ah.. I see.. Signal is the problem, these dudes just didnt inform the US government how their app works, the problem is never the current administration.
Bug reports lead to fixes. Bug report filed. Fix on way. There are complainers, and there are fixers. I'd rather be a fixer. When you get in someone else's car and it breaks down, whose "fault" is that? If the car company laughs at you and says it happened cause you didn't drive the car correctly, would you buy another car from that company? What if you found out that the company actually planted a bomb in your car, knowing you'd be in it? Life is about how you react to "problems". Signal has destroyed it's "brand" of "safe communications", but has created an opportunity for the next company who actually fixes it, to thrive on.
