Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia - Lemmy.World

> “We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says [https://x.com/signalapp/status/1821979304626155930]. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

I take that as a compelling recommendation for Signal.

Agreed. Clearly it must do simply what is said on the tin, otherwise why ban it?

You could also take it to mean that it’s compromised by the west.

You could. It depends on whose narration you trust

Indeed… OTF (who is funded by US Congress) has provided funding for several large open source projects like Signal, Tor, F-Droid etc. and some have taken this to mean they might be compromised… but of course there’s no actual proof of that to my knowledge.
