I still don't understand why would Google or Amazon care about this, and why it's against their ToS. Do they think that some of those states may block all kind of access to their IP blocks just because of some people using Signal?
The same thing just happened with Telegram in Russia which explains the preemptive messages: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/04/in-ef...
We will immediately suspend your use of CloudFront if you use third party domains without their permission to
masquerade as that third party.What was it that convinced Google and Amazon to no longer allow this particular censorship evasion?

As moxie says in the blog post
>The idea behind domain fronting was that to block a single site, you’d have to block the rest of the internet as well. In the end, the rest of the internet didn’t like that plan.
The flipside of free speech you’re ignoring is that people get to abstain from using their voice in addition to using it.

EDIT: I realized they use souqcdn.com. Does this mean it works because their clients use "souqcdn.com" to resolve to CloudFront CDN's IP address and then they craft a different Host header (like "Host: api.signal.org").
Also how can they possibly use CDN for this? As far as I know, CDN works only with GET requests, so how are they doing a chat app on this?
