In the current issue of C’Te buried “signalgate”, in the midst of work on the Messenger Test: Ranghohe members of the US government inadvertently informed Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor -in -chief of the magazine The Atlantic, about information about military operations. Goldberg was clearly invited to a signal group with such content.
Sylvester Tramel studied computer science and philosophy and worked as a developer and administrator. Now he writes for C’T and Heise online, including IT security, linux, network policy and data security.
The fact that the US government uses signals, only the messenger would be a bill if it was entrusted with capacity in IT protection to the politicians involved. As a result, there was a lot of discussion about the safety of the messenger approved by the US government for such purposes. But even the safest means of communication in the world do not help if you invite any people to keep secret chats without control.
Perfectly inappropriate
It is also completely inappropriate when politicians exchange ideas about military operations in signal chat. Messenger is aimed at private users and its purpose is to protect a classic conversation along with written term. It includes privacy, but something has been expressed that the mistake of the above and type as well as impossibility.
In fact, the chat group worked with messages “Self -Extinguing”. Messenger then gradually rejects the old news. And Jeffrey Goldberg cannot at least prove what was written because good messengers like “controversy” offering signals; Therefore your users can cryptically claim that some things have not been sent. Such characteristics work to protect privacy and other individual freedom fields. In this way, citizens intend to maintain defense rights towards the state.
Duties in account
In a democracy, the state, its organs and representatives do not have such rights. Conversely, you have an obligation! Messenger with too much secrecy protection is therefore a complete means of promoting political decisions. Such discussions are not automatically removed, but documented, stored and published if possible.
Politicians who want to keep chat courses secret, in which they were involved in their office, they did not understand their work in a law of law. Unfortunately, it is also repeatedly on this side of the big pond.
