       So what we're learning is that Briar is useless in Iran, and so is Signal. Always designed to work in unrealistic environments. *sigh*

       @feld Briar works over bluetooth in the worst of times. What about it isn't working there right now?

       @feld none of software messengers are gonna work, sorry. An android app isn't gonna help against a government-level adversary waging war against you.
