I don't understand. How would you circumvent censorship of the protocol without obfuscating the protocol?

It seems to me that signal has never claimed to be able to hide that it was being used... until now?

But thanks for posting the thing from Moxie, it does sound quite reasonable.

What would be useful to me and presumably other HN readers is a clear summary of the tech involved, readable by an audience who is technical but not security/circumention experts. Like, the people complaining could be spending time on that, to educate users and developers, instead of doing... whatever they are doing. That seems to have turned into a much less interesting argument about etiquette or something.
