It is relatable when it's your friends and family. When it's your work, especially secure work, there are no excuses. It's why organizations hire specialists to manage this sort of thing.

And that’s basically it!
Trying to fucking normalize this, complicit media bitch. What a shit article.
I don’t think we’ve all shared details of classified military operations in real time actually, that’s pretty much just a US government official thing.
That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal.
Up next: And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.
The narcissist prayer, AKA Trump cabinet's mantra
If it's not a big deal, why were you insisting it was the end of the world when Hillary did it?
“So I used to be a transgender cabaret host in Berlin circa 1926. Haven’t we all?”
This article goes to great lengths to make it appear as if something hugely important really isn’t that big a deal. No, it’s not “relatable”. No, it isn’t “something we’ve all done”. This is treason.
They broke countless laws, protocols, and regulations that were put in place for good reason, by people who were clearly much more careful and intelligent than them. Still, even these stupid, arrogant assholes should have known better.
I will never read this MAGA apologist garbage again.
Way to normalize a massive failure of leadership and criminal act, USA Today.
Well, the newspaper is certainly living up to its name.
How is this the first Ryan George GIF I've ever seen
This is such a BS.
I actually feel like this wasn't an accident and he invited him on purpose to expose this scandal as his position is a National Security Advisor and what they are doing is outrageous from security standpoint.
All media concentrated on that a journalist was present in the chat, when the real issue is them using Signal on personal phones to communicate sensitive information.
It's nothing, just a little bit of light treason.
Those are balls.
Totally relatable, I often create group chats about conducting air strikes on foreign countries for me and my colleagues, it's just so easy and efficient. I once almost invited someone from our HOA to it, but I luckily spotted her immediately and removed her again. No worries.
I did once send a message to the childminder parents group that was meant for my wife. It referenced a porn movie series we watched, called Oil Overload, for which the new one had just come out. I think the message read something like 'OIL OVERLOAD 14!!! YEEHA'. No one mentioned it, but I'm sure they knew.
I .. didn't realize it went all the way to 17.
#17 actually ties up a lot of lose ends.
It's true, I accidently share top secret information about bombing apartments every now and again. Whoopsie daisy.
umm, no. I use work chats for work, and personal chats for personal. I might accidentally add the wrong colleague to a work chat, or wrong friend to a personal chat, but I'm never going to accidentally add a friend to a work chat because I don't mix work and personal chats.
Except my chats are not subject to public records act laws for oversight and public information, so if I choose to keep them off record it's not illegal.
We have not all done this. We are not all breaking the law and trying to hide our government actions in a group chat.
I have definitely never sent a text or Signal message to the wrong person or group as well. It's actually not hard to simply look at the recipient(s) before you compose a message. You even have the opportunity to double-check the message recipient(s) before you hit Send.
I'm gonna be an age-bigot for a moment and say this is mostly a problem for Boomers and Zoomers.
How relatable. He who hasn't ever accidentally shared classified information about military strikes with a random journalist using a commercial chat app on a private phone, let him first cast a stone at them.
I mean, I haven't, but that's because I don't play Warthunder.

(Signal isn't a commercial app. It's free as in freedom, free as in beer, and free as in "there's no data kept on you to possibly sell". The Signal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and the Signal app's development and running costs are funded through the Signal Foundation. Please stop using this "commercial app" line.)
That's still commercial. You looked all that up and neglected the definition of commercial and commerce. Non-profits can be commercial and they also might not be, this one however is actually involved in commerce.
