The comments of that tweet are nothing but "Signal is full of huge design flaws"
Right, because "add user to group" is a design flaw.

If it's full of design flaws, they probably shouldn't be using it for military planning. It's sad to see the cult members grasping at straws to make this the fault of anyone but those incompetent buffoons.

They are trying to divert that the problem was journalist in the chat. In reality journalist present is the only good thing about the whole thing, he acted responsible and made us aware of this. I wouldn't be surprised if Waltz did it on purpose to expose how they are threatening country's security.
The actual problem is that it looks like they use signal on personal insecure phones for all their communication. Signal is meant for consumer use not for classified information, but even if it was secure or doesn't matter if the phone can be compromised and smartphones are constantly being broken into and the country doesn't even need to be Russia and China to be capable of doing it. It is so bad that there are products that governments can buy to tap into their citizen's phones.

You can also explicitly see in the screenshot that Waltz set the group to automatically delete messages after 4 weeks, in blatant violation of government record keeping laws. It's probably why they're using Signal in the first place.

Exactly they violated the Federal Records Act for every message that was automatically deleted. Federal Judge Jeb Boasberg is currently presiding over the lawsuit.
