Maybe they just accidentally sent it to somebody over signal? I hear that happens.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Signal has removed the "add random person to chat" button. That shouldn't happen anymore.
The Omegle of Signal. Or the "I'm Feeling Lucky" of Signal.
It's dicks, it's always dicks
But did they give rid of the "add entire database worth of data to the current message" button?
Are you serious man? That was like top secret! It only shows up if you leave your phone idle for ten seconds
You have to swipe in the shape of a swastica to enable it.
Fr, maybe someone magically sucked themselves into a group chat with Elon because that's a thing that happens all the time.
I hate it when that happens!
All press inquiries will be answered with a poop emoji.
The truly surprising thing is that so many people still use Twitter.
It's beyond me how they can still do so in accordance with their personal values.
network effect
1/3 of all humans on earth use Twitter? Bullshit.
At least half of those accounts have to be bots and alts and whatever spam garbage.
Correct.
As of Jan 2025, X (formerly Twitter) had around 335.7 million users, so how is it possible that data from 2.8 billion users has been leaked? One possible explanation is that the dataset includes aggregated or historical data, such as bot accounts that were created and later banned, inactive or deleted accounts that still lingered in historical records, or old data that was merged with newer data, increasing the total number of records.
Further examination of the leak showed that at 3% of those accounts were run by real people. 50% of those accounts had mail.ru email addresses.
/s but I'm guessing my numbers aren't far off.
I won't be surprised if my data is caught up in that even though I deleted my account last year (after not using it really since it was bought out).
I don't trust any of these companies to actually, really, for-real-this-time delete anything, ever.
DOJ to prosecute for release of classified information
Haha, not mine. removed. I've deleted it years ago.
