Based on the story Amazon has no problem with you circumventing censorship, it is not the subject of the topic at all, do not lie please because you only hurt your own reputation and trustfulness - which in a highly sensitive area that you are working in is paramount!

The technique that Signal was using to circumvent censorship (domain fronting) will no longer be possible on Amazon:

This is not waht's in the title of the article! The title says the account is threatened to be closed on the grounds of circumventing censorship! Big fat lie!

The account suspension threat is based on using something that is not permitted! Knowingly not permitted, illegitimate use!
