For those affected by the blocks, Signal recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature.
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.
If the website creator and others can access the content hiding behind SSL/HTTPS, is it truly encrypted? It’s similar with telegram, except they also don’t keep the raw data on servers etc.
