Donald Trump’s most important security advisers used Signal to discuss an imminent military strike. Now, reporting by DER SPIEGEL has found that the contact data of some of those officials, including mobile phone numbers, is freely accessible on the internet.

    The above is fake news. Maybe.

    Highly doubt it. Der Spiegel has a record of solid investigative journalism, and they used publicly accessible information.

      They weren’t saying that Der Spiegel was fake news, they were saying that their own sentence above was likely false. Could have just used /s or something, but yeah, they weren’t calling out Der Spiegel

      I think they meant their own message. As in “this is the most ridiculous bullshit I could come up with, but maybe they really fucked up that bad”.
