They are. I’m sure there are policies against discussing confidential actions on commercial services. I’m sure there are approved services they could have used, that there is security policy to use. I’m sure no external people would have been allowed to I’m sure they’re monitored for various leaking data. I’m sure there is someone accountable for making it so.
It’s not just that these are dumbasses who made a stupid mistake, but they are almost certainly so convinced of their own superiority that they don’t have to follow policies that everyone else does, policies that prevent stupid mistakes like this.
The real problem is they are above the law. They are royalty not accountable to any rules or ethics. That’s the real problem.
Edit: I’m also sure there are data retention policies to ensure things are auditable for treason, spying, illegal operations. Another reason they may have for using signal is to escape potential scrutiny, escape any responsibility for their actions, by using a service that’s not managed, not monitored, has no accountability. These people should not be allowed in charge of a loaf of bread’
