Signal is aware of the blocks.

“Signal is being blocked in Venezuela and Russia. The app is a popular choice for encrypted messaging and people trying to avoid government censorship, and the blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries…”

    blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.

    Or… you know… at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

    Smart move, considering Signal is a US-hosted centralized service that has to comply with US NSL laws.

    These comments below seem to be unaware of all the issues privacy advocates have of signal.

    could matrix.org be as easily blocked, since it’s decentralized I’m wondering?

    At least it means that Signal is working as intended if they are blocking it, I guess that they don’t have back doors.
