    A really interesting but disturbing read. I hadn’t realised that the rich are manipulated like the rest of us by other rich people. It’s also interesting that they chose Signal for a lot of these chats over WhatsApp.

      Agreed on all counts. It’s also terrifying that they seem to think they’re too smart to be fooled, as well.

    There’s a pretty decent summary (written by a human being!) over at Boing Boing (make sure your adblocker’s on before you go, though).

        I tried… it’s readable, but looks a little funky on my machine: https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https%3A%2F%2Fboingboing.net%2F2025%2F04%2F28%2Fthe-influential-signal-chatrooms-where-tech-billionaires-and-their-courtiers-swung-far-right.html
