Even though Israel is our "Ally" -- we really shouldn't trust a foreign company with our sensitive messaging.

If you're in the government, you should treat Hegseth and anyone who uses Signal and TMSIGNL as compromised.

It's not like Israel would ever spy on the US right?

I'm pretty sure that the US is a high priority intelligence target for Israel. But then any of the big nations should be. Russia, US, China, etc.

US spy agencies are world famous weak and heavy relayed on UK and Israel communications.

Or the US spy on Israel.

Please tell that to European governments too. The Netherlands military police was using Whatsapp (e.g., https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2022/06/15/maatregele...). Only Germany has the BwMessenger (Matrix) as far as I know. It makes me wonder what the other militaries are using.

This is misleading bordering on rage bait. There were 11 dutch military police who created a WhatsApp group. This was not allowed and is also not sanctioned or any form of official Military Police communications channel.

The leader of those 11 was fired because of it.

It says it right there in the article. Stop making drama.

The matrix development is carried by France a lot for their secure communication. The German affair hopped onto that.

I thought DekkoSecure was a standard for encrypted govt/military messaging? Why bother with this COTS consumer crap?
