A non-issue really. Governments should be using their own apps/infra for private communication if only to ensure they're in full control not just of their messaging but the infra.

I will watch the video later, but what does this ban cover?

If it's just government employees then that might be reasonable since record keeping is important?

I use Signal for almost everything, but work stuff stays on work devices. Ideally there would be a signal equivalent that allows for record keeping, but yea

An internal memo from the Prime Minister was leaked in which she asks cabinet members to stop using mainstream messaging apps and use Olvid (an app developped by a French startup) instead. She does not mention Signal specifically, but the implication is that other messaging apps have security flaws.

Meredith stresses that one may very well prefer one app to another based on different threat models, but that it is not fair to imply that an app is not secure without presenting proof.

Ah makes sense, thank you!

Wow, this is so odd. I had to look up a previous coworker's LinkedIn profile just now, since her name is Meredith Moore, and she looks like this Meredith. Different people, same name, same face, same hair.

Wow, that's really neat! I guessed the right ones in the examples give too.
