Lol do you know how to migrate a community off one platform to another?
"Foreign agents" could install a VPN, probably already have to send data. 0 impact whatsoever for those "agents". Even for casual privacy enthusiasts judge be easy, depending on what's already blocked. Average people on the other hand...
Regular people will find other ways to communicate, as they always have. They have lots of options, as you've pointed out.
Also pointed out how those present more challenges. Why you think WhatsApp and face time are popular, anybody can use them. I'm still wondering what alternative you propose. It seems there's nothing that suits privacy and making Maduro happy.
signal is secure. Its security is backed by it's western intelligence financing.
It's security is backed by the fact it can be audited. Of course governments want PQC encryption. You think other countries don't want or invest on it? The only difference here is that is pubic, free and can be checked for backdoors.
Its clear that Venezuela is facing external pressure to dismantle their democracy, and are taking actions to disrupt those efforts.
When preserving "democracy" is the excuse to not be Democratic, something is wrong.
I'm still waiting to know what do you think is a good alternative. You already complained that signal is secure against all parties, and I'm wondering of there's even a truly private messaging platform that is open and approved by Venezuela, Russia, China... Please enlighten me. There has to be at least one... Right?
