This has nothing to do with being shut down like Parler if that is what you're asking. That'd be a leap of logic based on very little evidence. Were it happening, there would be statements in the news. We have precedent.
Here's a hint: The entire 8M from Parler are using Signal. They're still plotting all the same violence, but instead of being protected by a promise from the founder, they're protected by the design of the app itself. There's no argument to use against Parler that can't be used against Signal. They need to be shut down now, before people die again.
Signal is a threat to our core tenets of freedom, security and democracy. Parler could change its moderation policy tomorrow but Signal can't change how it works.
Good call.

All that this person did was tell me I was wrong, then restate my exact point that the service went down due to hitting a capacity limit. Really the only difference between what they said and what I said was the lack of civility, and the additional assertion that Signal needed to be shutdown.
