It’s true, I accidently share top secret information about bombing apartments every now and again. Whoopsie daisy.
It is relatable when it’s your friends and family. When it’s your work, especially secure work, there are no excuses. It’s why organizations hire specialists to manage this sort of thing.
Buttery males, though…
Except my chats are not subject to public records act laws for oversight and public information, so if I choose to keep them off record it’s not illegal.
“So I used to be a transgender cabaret host in Berlin circa 1926. Haven’t we all?”
How is this the first Ryan George GIF I’ve ever seen
I can’t think of a time when I added the wrong person to a group chat. I’m sure it’s happened, but probably not in the past 10-15 years.
And my online chats are pretty low-stakes, so it’s not like I’m trying very hard.
A few friends of mine used to have a sms-based group chat we used for many years. One of those friends kept losing phones and getting new numbers. At some point one of his older numbers texted something to the tune of “what the fuck is this, why are you texting me?!”. It turns out the old number had been reassigned.
then again, no state secrets were exchanged.
What the fuck headline is that. No, we haven’t done that, because we’re careful about that shit.
It’s nothing, just a little bit of light treason.
Those are balls.
uh no i’ve never accidentally added a journalist to a group chat while laughing about bombing people in the middle east.
You gotta admit, though, that 11-year-old boy might make a good Secretary of Defense after this one.
If it’s not a big deal, why were you insisting it was the end of the world when Hillary did it?
Totally relatable, I often create group chats about conducting air strikes on foreign countries for me and my colleagues, it’s just so easy and efficient. I once almost invited someone from our HOA to it, but I luckily spotted her immediately and removed her again. No worries.
Sorry but you don’t get to have something you do be “relatable” after you’ve tried to end somebody’s career over a milder version of it.
Trying to fucking normalize this, complicit media bitch. What a shit article.
We have not all done this. We are not all breaking the law and trying to hide our government actions in a group chat.
I have definitely never sent a text or Signal message to the wrong person or group as well. It’s actually not hard to simply look at the recipient(s) before you compose a message. You even have the opportunity to double-check the message recipient(s) before you hit Send.
I’m gonna be an age-bigot for a moment and say this is mostly a problem for Boomers and Zoomers.
Agreed. I’m in my 40’s, and in my life I couldn’t do anything wrong. When I was five, I took batteries from a Blockbuster on accident and cried until I returned them in fear of doing something wrong. I can’t understand the idea of not being blunt/honest and spending the extra time to deceive anyone.
