Why should we in the United States coerce (or sneak into) countries whose Governments don't want us there? Are these folks really "idealists" who think that access to tools like "Signal" will usher in a new spring! (See how well that worked in Egypt and Syria?) Let these Nations enjoy their sovereign right to protect their borders--even their digital ones--as they see fit. |

Citizens under oppressive governments often don't like their governments. The feeling's usually mutual. Some people in such countries - I actually think "most" but I'll remain conservative here - appreciate such tools and its creators. Not necessarily to do anything so ambitious as "ushering in new springs", but often simply to talk to relatives or make online friends or learn new things or exchange ideas online. In case you didn't realize it, lack of freedom and powerlessness really brings down one's mood, and anything to brighten it up is welcome.
