China blocking Western social media apps is nothing new, and the Chinese regulators have now decided to go after one of the most popular chat app, Signal. Users in China have been reporting that the service has been down in China since yesterday. Signal's popularity rose through the sky after WhatsApp's privacy policy announcement. Millions of users moved over to alternative apps, with Signal being one of the main apps that attracted many users.

Signal is a lot better if you are concerned with privacy as it offers several options that are excellent for the more privacy-conscious. Options such as end-to-end encryption as well as zero ads or trackers are standard with Signal. Simultaneously, the app is pretty popular amongst the residents and activities in China, which is perhaps the main reason why the app is no longer functioning in the country.
