Yet another federal agency not really needed.
Ever since 9/11, and probably before that, it has been the assumption that using certain keywords in correspondence will get the attention of governmental agencies.
That’s just the way it is.
I never learned much Pig Latin, and actually found it a clunky, unattractive mode of communication, but maybe there’s still a place for it.
Tucker - a conservative who is a Putin stooge.
Would beg the question...I guess you have to be on a special list (behind CNN, NPR, Nat’l Enquirer) to interview Putin? I can’t see why any gov’t agency would want to know what’s going on....other than to demonstrate they read your email.
On the list of odd questions that might be asked of Putin...is Biden competent? Putin might pull out forty phone conversations that Biden had with Burisma executives, and that’s what the DC ‘control’ folks might be worried about.
If Tucker thinks this is the first time the feds have hacked him he isn’t paying attention. I expect they’ve been on him like stink on sh!t for 4 or 5 years.
Tucker is likely wrong about this. The NSA didn’t hack into his Signal account. They monitor ALL of his communications.
This Country has gone crazy.
A great history of the NSA and the “intelligence community” can be found in “The Puzzle Palace” by James Bamford. It’s old but you might still be able to find a copy.
The federal government just managed to disclose that they are tapping Russian communications at a high level.
Sounds like an assumption on Tucker’s part, as I’m sure the NSA is monitoring the Russians he was in contact with in many ways. And if he’s going to be going around Europe campaigning for the destruction of NATO, as he has been, there’s no telling who all is monitoring him, and sharing information back to the US, either.
So quit yer whining Tucker. You want to talk to Putin, you should expect to be monitored. And that’s a good thing in my book.
A FU should have been the proper response.
Communism, it sucks.
But send your money to the Ukraine cause muh freedom!
Send more money if you want crooked elections in Ukraine.
We(our government) have no moral high ground anymore.
“State-of-the-art end-to-end encryption (powered by the open source Signal Protocol) keeps your conversations secure. We can’t read your messages or listen to your calls, and no one else can either.”
“The Signal Protocol (formerly known as the TextSecure Protocol) is a non-federated cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end encryption for voice and instant messaging conversations. The protocol was developed by Open Whisper Systems in 2013 and was first introduced in the open-source TextSecure app, which later became Signal. Several closed-source applications have implemented the protocol, such as WhatsApp, which is said to encrypt the conversations of “more than a billion people worldwide” or Google who provides end-to-end encryption by default to all RCS-based conversations between users of their Messages app for one-to-one conversations. Facebook Messenger also say they offer the protocol for optional Secret Conversations, as does Skype for its Private Conversations.”

Think of your cell phone as a hand-held federal government spy.
Just so I understand the story here...
Simonyan announced on the record and it’s now in the public domain.
The NSA must’ve hacked him to read this public domain statement.
He said “how did you know?”
By saying that he confirmed what she’d said publicly.
The guy’s a bloody moron. You don’t need to hack morons who confirm rumors.
All he had to say was “she said what? Oh, that’s funny. Let me check my calendar.... Nope, nothing there with Putin.”
Anybody who reads my emails other than those intended to read them, must be shaking in their boots about Operation Snowball.
Tucker, the NSA doesn’t have to hack anything. They are simply listening to everyone. All the time.
He knows this. He likes being dramatic.
NSA = KGB
The reason to use Signal is because it is a end-to-end, point-to-point, encrypted communication app. If they hacked his communication, that is frightening in itself, it undermines the very reason to use it. They also had better produce the warrant it was done under.
It’s possible they have other channels to monitor on the other end but we should be asking some serious questions here. I’ll wait for our R’s to start digging.....and die of old age in the process.
