These app stores are central points of censorship. I actually assumed Signal was already unavailable on iOS in China. So much of the privacy space is dominated by US and European people or maybe that's just because I only speak English. I wonder how many people in China even concern themselves with privacy. I have no idea.

If you really want a private chat:
- start a private nostr relay
- use 0xchat over nostr https://github.com/0xchat-app/0xchat-app-main

I thought they would have been unavailable for a while now. They banned google and YouTube about 15 years ago

My guess is that these aren't that widely used in China but I could be wrong.

Its inevitable. The state hates personal sovereignty, privacy, and encryption. This will only need to more censorship resistant tools like Nostr.
