A Statement on Recent Events Between Signal and the Anti-Censorship Community
It seems that a couple of security researchers from this community felt that Signal's implementation of a TLS-in-TLS proxy to allow its use in censored Iran didn't live up to their standards (it can be detected by censors and blocked). However, after Signal rejected this issue, they turned toxic and were prevented from posting anymore [1].The above post is their reaction, which feels more like them lashing out rather than attempting to uphold the greater values of the anti-censorship community. I feel that it doesn't benefit anyone that they behaved this way, choosing to attack the Signal team and the reporter of the article below, rather than resolving the issue productively while allowing the community to continue focusing on their mission.[1] https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/removal-notic...
