    The white house trusting signal is nice, but using it to circumvent official communication tools which document messages for the archives is not the way it should be used - they used the “disappearing messages”-feature as well. This usage is more in line with criminal organizations like the mafia or yakuza.

      I believe some people have been ordered to archive the chat so that it can be presented to Congress in the future. Trouble is, looking at the screenshots it’s already gone as they had the message lifetime set to a week.

      I wonder if this will be seen as destroying evidence .

        i’m pretty sure that there are laws regarding required archival, but laws seem optional for this administration.

          There very much are law requiring archival, but now it’s been ordered in the hearings as well. This makes it much more obvious that it’s a problem.
