This is a factually incorrect and very naive take. The same topic has been in the news in European countries too about the widespread use of WhatsApp when discussing secret information. It isn’t just the US government, everyone is doing it.

Do you have any sources? Because I don't see any information about secret information normally going through Signal or WhatsApp.
