    This is why US Army is forcing work related communications onto an employer owned instant message application.

    It may or may not be more secure, but it is privately owned and always official business. The employer can take legal action for improper disclosure of messages from that system. It also means other segments of government can never use these messages in any kind of legal proceeding without a prior valid search warrant.

    "The FBI’s report from August, prepared by its New York division, does not make clear how the bureau accessed the Signal group. "

    Um, yes? This kinda stuff has been FBI SOP for the past century-ish.

    If you are a "politically sensitive" activist group trying to make an actual difference (vs. performative and feel-good stuff) - then you should assume that the spooks are watching, if not actively infiltrating, and plan accordingly.

    (If your goals are mostly performative and feel-good - then having the FBI spying on your group is A List bragging rights and cred, no? Congratulations!)
