Signal is more than encrypted messaging. It's out to prove surveillance capitalism wrong. (archive.ph)

https://www.wired.com/story/meredith-whittaker-signal/ is the original link. On Tor the archive link is a captcha that cannot be completed.

Andy Greenberg is usually good, he has been covering things like this for a long time, here he is not, he comes across as not having done his homework. Meredith Whittaker answers very well.

Still an interesting interview and worth the read.

Thanks for this. Do you get the unsolvable captcha on all archive links, or is it just this one that's buggy?

FWIW, I only get a captcha when I'm using a VPN, which sucks. I go straight to the article if I turn off my VPN.

Thanks for the response. It is all of them. Here is what it looks like on mobile, that's Cromite and Orbot. It looks the same on Mull and Webview browsers as well. I know I am an outlier here.

There is a way they block access to humans with CAPTCHA. Even to government sites that should not be obstructed. Whatever X uses has impossible CAPTCHAs that don't add up. The Google CAPTCHAs go in an endless series that will keep you solving for hours. It doesn't matter if you are using VPN or tor. Never seen the one from cloudflare fail. But I think CAPTCHA has become another NSA chokepoint that needs to be open sourced.

Well, that seems annoying as heck. I'll start adding original links under all my archived links.

Thank you very much. There probably are not many of us, but it's appreciated.
