The article discusses the ongoing media scrutiny regarding the security of the messaging app Signal, particularly in relation to a political controversy involving the U.S. National Security Advisor. Despite the potential seriousness of the issue, the author suggests that political allegiances may prevent a thorough investigation. The evolving narratives in the media reflect a divided perspective, with some urging caution and others defending the app's use among government officials. Ultimately, political implications could overshadow these concerns as the midterm elections approach.
The mainstream press has apparently decided that the real question is whether Signal is 'secure.' It's a worthwhile question; I don't have the technical knowledge to say just how risky it might be, and the reporting on it seems to vary a bit.
If the U.S. National Security Advisor communicates with you by a particular channel, it is not unreasonable to assume he has cleared his process with White House counsel; the entire point of the position is to act as the president's personal emissary.
