Top US officials inadvertently shared Yemen strike plans with
journalist in group chat.

I'm a little bit disappointed, I have been using Signal for
years and nobody has ever included me in any group of
interest... it would be nice to be included in these things once
in a while.

It's not spying if people are bringing you in to their private
group and sharing chats with you! That's supposedly the whole
point in using Signal - privacy. To fuck-up and invite a
journalist is negligence.

I'd make a case that the person doing the inviting knew what
they were doing and was deliberately sharing sensitive info with
a journalist. Let them prove otherwise!

Ordinarily I would agree with you. But keeping in mind that the group
members are politicians, who do not blink twice about the choice to send
people to their deaths, and to kill, I would be very hesitant to just
assume they'll say "oh, sorry, our fault". Would not be surprised at all
if they kill americans from time to time to make problems go away.

Is there BCC when sending?

It's not an e-mail service, it's a text messaging service
similar to WhatsApp, but generally considered to be more secure.

Could a person print out what was texted?

In order to have a permanent copy of it?

The good news here, I guess, is that the highest levels of the US
government consider Signal to be reasonably secure.

It's good news for Signal anyway... I'm sure they've picked up a
few thousand more users in the last few days.

Of course... anyone can do a screen-shot of a chat and then
print it out. (Providing they were 'in' the chat group to see
the messages of course.)

In fact, looking at the news today I see the journalist has done
screen-shots and published them.

In order to have a permanent copy of it?

Permanent copy, forward it, attach the screen-shot to an e-mail,
print it out... (etc.)

Kim Jong Un Demands to be Included in all Future Hegseth Group Chats

(The Borowitz Report)---Stung by his omission from the Trump
administration's recent war-planning chat, on Wednesday Kim Jong Un
demanded to be included in all such group chats in the future.

"Why was this Goldberg person, who doesn't even have nuclear weapons, included?" the North Korean dictator asked. "This should never be
allowed to happen in this country."

Kim said that he had downloaded the latest version of the Signal app
and was waiting for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ping him.

With Signal downloads sky-rocketing, Kim Jong Un - and me - have
a much better chance of getting invited in to some group chats
by some negligent fat-fingered official...

Maybe someone in Yemen would like some friends in Europe?
