Nowhere does it say what "SS7" is.

It's the protocol underlying typical (and unsafe) SMS messages. Maybe this news is why the FBI decided to break character and recommend Signal.

The news itself... meh... not really news and neglects to mention the US does it too (and most likely to their own citizens as well).
