Again, centralized protocol:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_%28software%29#Servers

Can we please make note of how WhatsApp block was *possible* due to the 
centralized nature of the protocol and start moving towards decentralization?

I mean, how is it possible that the very reason Internet exists -- finding a 
solution to the problem of "what happens when something takes down a central 
routing point" -- is the one thing we completely ignore in those discussions?
