This seem very crazy, the part they managed to confirm the non deleted message and this "well know vuln", I can speak just for my self. I never heard about this vulnerability before. Did you have some information about this one?

A 'disinformation campaign' framed in the context of something illicit is hyperbolic. Designating it as the basis for claims of "hacking our elections" is downright comical. The opportunistic criminalization of free speech is the highest order of hubris and hypocrisy
