I tell especially dumb children that are actively making mistakes that cost me time and money that they’re doing their best and that’s all that matters. It’s a lie and I’m pretty sure they know it but somehow that’s both a useful and reasonable reaction to have for the national security advisor.
Children, or people still learning for that matter, deserve to told “hey, you did your best and you’ve made some progress”. Allegedly competent adults that fuck up adding people to a group chat about something as important as this deserve to be beaten around the head with anything available. Not told “great job buddy. Have a lollipop for your hard work”.
They are. I’m sure there are policies against discussing confidential actions on commercial services. I’m sure there are approved services they could have used, that there is security policy to use. I’m sure no external people would have been allowed to I’m sure they’re monitored for various leaking data. I’m sure there is someone accountable for making it so.
It’s not just that these are dumbasses who made a stupid mistake, but they are almost certainly so convinced of their own superiority that they don’t have to follow policies that everyone else does, policies that prevent stupid mistakes like this.
The real problem is they are above the law. They are royalty not accountable to any rules or ethics. That’s the real problem.
Edit: I’m also sure there are data retention policies to ensure things are auditable for treason, spying, illegal operations. Another reason they may have for using signal is to escape potential scrutiny, escape any responsibility for their actions, by using a service that’s not managed, not monitored, has no accountability. These people should not be allowed in charge of a loaf of bread’

When it’s something as critical as this why aren’t things double or even triple checked, though?

I wonder if it was done on purpose. It’s like the U.K. Conservative Party isn’t incompetent, it’s self serving.
