> On the infrastructural disadvantage, that’s true, but we also have the advantage of … we don’t have to be full of shit. We’re not actually a surveillance company. I’m not trying to pretend Facebook is good. I don’t have to toe a party line that is divorced from reality. And we aren’t Big Tech.
Quite bold statements in this article. I hope they figure out ways to pull off the domain fronting she mentions despite opposition from companies like Amazon with Cloudfront [1]:
> Our hope would be that we can implement Signal in a way that [would require a government to] cut off all of Google or all of the internet if you want to block Signal. And thus, we have some level of cover there. This has been referred to as domain fronting. I won’t get into detail on how we use those because there’s an advantage to not [getting into it]. We are actively working on it.
