FBI Director Kash Patel said Monday that he had opened an investigation into the Signal group text chats that Minnesota residents are using to share information about federal immigration agents’ movements, launching a new front in the Trump administration’s conflict there with potential free speech implications.
Patel said in an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he wanted to know whether any Minnesota residents had put federal agents “in harm’s way” with activities such as sharing agents’ license plate numbers and locations.
You’re probably thinking of things like in-app metadata like message timestamps or internal signal protocol stuff or something… But that’s not what I’m referring to.
For example, Signal and whatsapp can leak device and app activity (which can be surprisingly serious given most mobile AFU vulnerabilities)
And as an example by comparison: Session et al have better anonymity and transit-metadata obfuscation
To further explain what i mean: the Katzenpost network is being developed with post-quantum encryption and puts strong emphasis on metadata security… The latter is a significantly more challenging problem than just sending encrypted packets.
