    It’s wild to me as an old techie that they would be using cell phones for this kind of communication at all since mistypes and errors from typing too fast are so common on virtual keyboards.

    If I was in such a situation I would feel it was almost necessary to be at a full keyboard as to not make mistakes in communications.

    But then again I would also be following federal records retention laws.

      None of the nazis and their sycophants are techies.
      Not even President Musk: He can’t walk the walk.

        Let’s not paint them as tech illiterate. That’s how you drop your guard.

        The same way conservatives believe liberals aren’t armed.

        These fools werent incompetent because they’re Nazis. They’re incompetent because they think they’re better than everyone else, and they don’t need to follow the rules established by others.

          True, but while that doesn’t make them tech-illiterate, it does make them security-illiterate. They think rules around security don’t apply to them because they think they’re better than others and as such rules shouldn’t apply to them. They think of themselves as infallible. To believe so means you have to be illiterate about how security actually functions.

        True, it’s just idiot ass normies doing normie things. They’d post it to their Facebook timeline if they could figure out how.

      Not just cell phones but personal cell phones. Signal is blocked on federal cell phones.
