Why didn't this come out when China blocked Signal? And what is Signal doing about China blocking Signal's phone verification system? Can't talk to my parents-in-law in China now without installing that spyware WeChat.
- Dobbs 4y agoSignal seems to have had the proxy for a while. I'm guessing that China blocked them, they started developing this, released it, Iran blocked them, they signal boost this feature off the back of the second blockage.

- colordrops 4y agoThey've had years to get rid of of needing a phone number and they've talked about it for years. It's arguably a bigger issue for many that internet blocking, as that can be trivially worked around with a VPN or proxy.
