Microblog post: "Family won't move our group chat to signal. Had to leave. Here comes the guilt trip ๐Ÿ˜’". Screenshot of a iMessage conversation with a contact named Mom: "Please come back to the group chat. We are making thanksgiving plans and we need your input." - "As I said in the group chat, you shouldn't be using iMessage. Signal is better Opsec. Once everyone starts taking that seriously you know where to find me." - "Gam Gam is 92. She barely knows how to use the phone she has." - "She needs to adapt"

Isn't MK in this scenario doing the same thing? Trying to put pressure on their family to use a piece of software they don't know and aren't comfortable using?

I mean yeah, MK's take is more informed, but sides are likely to see it as the other side trying to get them to cave.

Anyway. Rereading, "Signal is better opsec" when your 92yo grandmother wants to plan Thanksgiving is cracking me up.

    I think they're more saying they won't participate in an imessage group chat. Which would ordinarily be fine. It's only strange in this case because they're still using imessage.

    If palantir knows who's bringing the stuffing, what else do they know about you and your family?
