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…”

    well, except for all the times Signal just “forgets” to update the published source code of a year or so. Other than that its perfectly open source

      Funded by the US? Well thats the entire internet, including Tor, Linux and Matrix…

      Amazing how much BS is spread here

      The only relevant part is the client, which as always been open source.

        The server is arguably more important, that is where the data and meta data itself are stored. Linux has never hid its source code for a year, and matrix can be self hosted.

        I mean if you want to trust a honey pot go right ahead
