Exactly, bragging about this hack made them do something about it.

  The post that alerted AWS was submitted by HN user hapnin, who I don't believe has anything to do with Signal.

    But he got thousands of people censored. I hope he's happy.

      This is not useful. The great thing about domain fronting when e.g. Google semi-officially supported it is that it is a non-secret technique which leverages the unique status of a large-scale technical operation that the citizenry demands access to. It allows the citizenry of an oppressive state to engage in collective action via the machinery of global capitalism. Google and Amazon should not only be supporting this practice, but celebrating it. Subverting an oppressive state is a moral good. Specifically cutting off anonymous, safe communication paths for those being oppressed is, to put it mildly, fucking evil.

        More evil than cutting off all the other users of other services that chose to host with AWS/Google? Cause that's what happened when Russia banned Telegram, and Russia didn't show any problem with doing it again.
