> According to Padgett and government records reviewed by NBC News, government contracts (some of which are still current) involving TeleMessage go back years, predating the current Trump administration. One current contract that mentions TeleMessage allocated $2.1 million from the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA for “TELEMESSAGE MOBILE ELECTRONIC MESSAGE ARCHIVING,” beginning in February 2023, with an August 2025 end date.

This is comparable to everyone using Hillary's email server for classified messaging, except also controlled in a foreign country, and oops very insecure.
Even office drones working at a bank aren't allowed to do such things.
This is not normal.
We have no information on that one way or the other.
> a slightly more secure text messaging replacement
Yea but it wasn't secure at all. For any purpose.
> that weren’t subject to the same security requirements as the Secretary of Defense?
Regardless of who is using it and for what purpose I'd like the server to actually be secure.
This isn't a left vs. right issue. This is an overall government incompetence issue.
They don't just seem to be incompetent, they seem to be wilfully negligent.
