They are different stories. This is more about the widespread, illegal Signal usage than the war plans accidentally leaked over Signal. Both are major stories. One is an extraordinary security incident. The other is concerted effort to bypass recordkeeping and disclosure. Nobody will ever be able to be able to FOIA these messages, which rightfully belong to the American people.

They are not the same story in reality. HN duplicate rules not agreeing with reality is HN's problem, nobody elses'.

#7Right wing but non-Trumpist rag Bulwark had a article on the National Archives recently, that was a great refresher of how our nation and how our parties carry (or not) our nation's legacy forward. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/nations-archivist-should-not-be...
The Iran-Contra tapes show up, as an element of history that we nearly lost, that the illegally-political operative running the Archives tried repeatedly to let get deleted.
Trump administration has been no stranger to destroying history. Their read outs for meetings with foreign officials were just the most absurd hokey fake abbreviated read outs last term. https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/news/foia/2019-05-07/white-house-f...
I cant stand what this sham of a government is doing. But that they use illegal communication channels like Signal to hide what they are doing, to avoid making the lasting record of history, that we the people are denied the democratic necessity of looking at and assessing what's happened: that absolutely makes my blood boil. Such denial of democracy, such hiding and cowering from history is the act of people with no pride, with no dignity, who knows they bring nothing good to America.

This struck a nerve. Here's another comment to downvote about how this is more about the widespread, illegal Signal usage than the war plans accidentally leaked over Signal. Both are major stories. One is an extraordinary security incident. The other is concerted effort to bypass recordkeeping and disclosure.

I can't imagine the confusion of the mind that thinks it is conservative to behave in this way, or to think this is political and not related to technology.

>But that they use illegal communication channels like Signal
I enjoyed reading what you wrote (though, I disagree with most of it) but the above quote spoiled your overall comment much, and I'm too much of a pedant to let it go, so I'll ask the following, and perhaps thence, I can ask more people to use signal .
What is illegal about signal?
