Yea, that's why I said: "government action, either diplomatic or militarized". Any reasonable person will choose diplomacy first.

Nobody is talking about cultural norms here. The story is about Signal being used to help those in oppressive societies with active censorship, not some differing cultures. And "police" is a form of expression, not literally a police department.

Asking Amazon to do anything political is absurd because it's a corporation that should be focused on its paying customers, none of whom would appreciate unwillingly being affected by Signal intentionally breaking their terms of service. Do they suddenly not matter?

It's morally despicable to just expect and force others to help you in your causes, no matter how noble (you think) it is.
