I was interviewed on the Kill Switch podcast about ICEBlock app, the mutual aid group NorCal Resist, and the insane situation we’re in where Apple and Google are collaborating with Trump to censor apps at will https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kill-switch/id1449757372?i=1000732939606

“A new analysis of TM Signal's source code appears to show that the app sends users' message logs in plaintext” https://www.wired.com/story/tm-signal-telemessage-plaintext-message-archive/

Despite misleading marketing, Israeli company TeleMessage, used by Trump officials, can access plaintext chat logs. My findings are based on TM SGNL's source code, and they are corroborated by hacked data https://micahflee.com/despite-misleading-marketing-israeli-company-telemessage-used-by-trump-officials-can-access-plaintext-chat-logs/

The source code for the TM SGNL apps (basically a backdoored version of Signal used by Trump officials) is public! Since it's open source, I've pushed it to github for easier research https://micahflee.com/heres-the-source-code-for-the-unofficial-signal-app-used-by-trump-officials/
iOS code: https://github.com/micahflee/TM-SGNL-iOS

yes. Or, just most of your tweets. You can choose to keep tweets that got enough likes or RTs if you want. You can also delete your likes and DMs

"In a world where Elon Musk seems to have proven that practically no privately owned communication forum is immune from a single rich person’s whims, Signal stands as a counterfactual: evidence that venture capitalism and surveillance capitalism—hell, capitalism, period—are not the only paths forward for the future of technology." https://www.wired.com/story/meredith-whittaker-signal/
