“We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says. 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.)

Look into their MobileCoin and how they implemented it. They are just banking on people forgetting about it.

Anybody pulling these antics with a cryptography product loses my (and others) trust immediately. I'm a security soft dev, and my colleagues and I migrated to Element and Matrix network when it happened. I remember the disgust vividly.

Of course all of this is not going to be the Signal wikipedia page.. It's amazing how their fanbois work.

    Why are you so keen on spreading misinformation around? A feature you dont like does not affect the trust in the restof the application at all. Also, the integration of MobileCoin is part of the wiki page as well.
