On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if were to discuss national security maters.
This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅
Dont use consumer apps for national security matters.
There was a vulnerability identified in Signal last year that caused the British to discontinue its use. I dont trust the british government but I am wary of what they are wary of.
At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had french Europeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.
