I've heard a few people try and demonize Signal even before this goofy situation by claiming terrorists use it to plan attacks and I'm just sat over here like: yeah? Terrorists have also used youtube, Facebook, Twitter, discord and every other platform under the sun to organize and recruit to their groups.

And now there's this blunder (?) And somehow Signal is bad for the decisions other people make on the app? Which btw, I don't believe for a second that that was an accident. You will have to actually make an effort to add someone to a chat who doesn't belong there.

And I'm sorry, but I think the comment is pretty funny. I dunno. Maybe I'm just completely morally bankrupt or missing the bigger picture, but every negative thing I have heard people say about Signal is just bizarre. I genuinely don't understand what the issue is.

Need I remind anyone of how ISIS used Facebook and messenger in 2018 to post brutal execution videos of two scandinavian girls around Christmas and sending that shit to everyone on the girls' friends lists? As much as I hate Facebook I wouldn't dream of blaming them for some subhuman scum abusing their service for nefarious reasons.

I heard about a WoW clan leader in like 2005 or so who got interviewed by the FBI because some of his guild members used it to organize an attack. I think they threw grenades at an Army base or something.
