Signal is aware of the blocks.

"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..."

    You are the one who lacks focus. This chain stared from this comment:

    blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.

    Or... you know... at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

    Do nation states have the right to defend themselves from foreign interference in their elections? What actions should a nation state take to ensure the security of its elections? What actions should a nation state take to combat misinformation spreading about their elections?

    Based on your previous comments it sounds like you believe a nation should do nothing.

      Again, do Venezuelans deserve to be able to communicate privately?

      Every state has the right to defend themselves, I'm a big supporter of Ukraine. But this is not that. You asked me of I know what apps the opposition use. Do you have proof that there are foreign agents and they use signal?

      From a technical standpoint, this is useless. Only harms the population. If you believe this is wrong, please explain why this can't be bypassed with a VPN or proxy. I'm even forfeiting the proof that it's actively being used for "enemies of the state". And to west l what extend should Venezuela go? Lockdown from outside? Banning all encryption?

      I have replied to all or nearly all your questions. If you don't intend to answer mine, then it's a waste of time.

        I see your colors. Ukraine, historically, undemocratic due to western interference. Made the Communist Party illegal and disbanded it. Very good democracy there.

        They are very much the same, except Venezuela is better at defending itself from said western interference.

          Again, no answers. Why do I try to speak with a Tankie? Just another "useful" idiot that never left his US state.

          At least your messages are here to show what you really think about privacy.

            Lol Aw, are the geopolitics to complicated for you? At least your comments are here to show how you really feel about democracy.
