Now do Signal. Things politicians communicate should be on record.

Signal is banned on government owned devices already. As are all other unauthorized applications.

Why Signal? Is it confirmed to be spying?

I use signal. I love it. But it’s encrypted in a way that investigators can’t recover the data and supports disappearing messages. That shouldn’t be allowed for official government business. Lots of politicians are using it to talk about their dirty business outside of official archived channels.

Signal is fairly important in Congress for preventing international spying and to protect against rouge government agencies.

Either way it doesn't matter given Congress is exempt from FOIA, so you can't access their info regardless.

People used Signal during the insurrection. All gov messaging should be visible.
