📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

A reminder that Signal will never reach out to you proactively, never send you a Signal message, and never ask for your verification code. The only way to correspond with Signal is via email (support@signal.org) or the Signal Support Center (support.signal.org).
