What are the visually distinguishing features of this TM SGNL app compared to the official one? To my eyes, the app in the Waltz picture looks the same as the official one.

It says "Verify your TM SGNL PIN" instead of "Verify your Signal PIN". That's the only difference.

The big part of this story which nobody is talking about is the fact that the app is literally controlled by a bunch of “former” Israeli intelligence officers. Who now have what is arguably the worlds most valuable access out of anyone.

I appended a 'd' to the end of the title to pre-empt objections that they're not still using it. If it's known for sure that they are, we can de-'d' that bit.

Edit: this subthread is obsolete now - I took a phrase from the author's update to the article to use as the title above.

> Israel’s grip on DC’s balls is far too strong

I more or less agree.

> We’re literally an occupied nation

The language of the US under occupation is a neonazi talking point, ZOG (Zionist Occupation Government) being a phrase neonazi morons like. Maybe a coincidence.

White House communications director previously revealed (after “Signalgate”) that Signal was an approved and whitelisted app for gov’t officials to have on work phones and even discuss top-secret matters on. But I haven’t heard that TeleMessage was approved (and I’d have serious questions if it were given the foreign intelligence factor). Anyone know if there is a clear answer to whether it’s been approved?
