For those affected by the blocks, Signal recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature.
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.
They have not enabled the encryption by default and a common user can’t understand that. That is why it isn’t blocked.
