Just wanted to point out this bullet point on Session's website:

Censorship resistant: With no central point of failure, it's harder to shut Session down.

Wouldn't their server be a central point of failure?

Is not a server, is a network of service nodes but almost all of them are in the same country.

That's a bit better, I suppose, but if all of the nodes are in one country, then potentially the network is one poorly written law away from being shut down. They should probably branch out to other countries just in case.
