I'm not sure they legally can. I bet in many cases archival of comms is required for transparency.

it was not always like that

Or just stop bombing people.

Maybe the houthis don't have the knowhow to hack into an off the shelf smartphone but other interested parties surely do. The value of android/iOS 0-days probably just skyrocketed.

They are just taking this “Most transparent government ever” thing really seriously!

This is why NOSTR is not a good target. Well just giddy up and talk on the other way that we have which is in triplicate if I know my peeps here.

Would nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xwjej38s not be more thorough for them?

How is a government accountable to its people if communications aren't subject to scrutiny by the people?

Every unit in the Army has a signal group. The cyber guys/vendors who don't have to ever use there own systems in a time sensitive or reliable manner don't understand behavioral economics and have overemphasized security vs. usability in the security triangle.

Signal is great -- would they ever use anything else They can use email Maybe they can use two tin cans with a string tied to each end to communicate

My buddy works for Lockheed and he downloaded Signal to his work phone and he said he got an email within 10min saying delete the app or they wipe the phone remotely at the end of the day. Most agency’s and gov contractors can’t.

I’m waffling rn between “are you batshit O’Dell!?!” and “oh actually, yeah, it’s all the same submarine…”

It's allowed in some instances, but record management requirements still apply.

The US government, like all governments, is an inherently illegitimate criminal organisation.
