Signal, cencorship circumvention, AWS
Amazon threatens to suspend Signal’s AWS account over censorship circumvention
Amazon and Google are both coming out opposed to people using their services for domain fronting, to circumvent censorship.
Apparently Signal is actively blocked in Egypt, Oman, UAE, and Iran.
There are un-verified claims (in Masto) the NSA has access to Signalers too, but that should just be assumed anyway. ;)
Signal, like WhatsApp, is centralized. Would decentralized (matrix/riot) make a difference in this case? I don’t know. I don’t have the technical savvy to say. But I’d wager it’s a step in the better direction overall.
