✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2025-03-28

I delve into Signal's unexpected mainstream news moment and highlight Meredith Whittaker at SXSW.

Thank you NexusTek for sponsoring!

🙏 And a big thanks to all our sponsors! 🙏

The story that caught my eye this week was how Signal was catapulted into mainstream news… but for all the wrong reasons.

Techmeme: Trump officials accidentally added The Atlantic's EIC to a Signal group chat about the US' Houthi war plans; Signal is not approved for sharing classified info (Jeffrey Goldberg/The Atlantic)

By Jeffrey Goldberg / The Atlantic. View the full context on Techmeme.
