So this is how liberty dies...
I can't see Signal operating in Europe if this is the case. Telegram has already handed over information, so they will likely adapt and continue doing their thing. Meta/WhatsApp will want to keep that money, so they will find a way to operate as well.
I suppose Signal could have a European server, but that might cut them off from the rest of the world.
Might end up using Briar or XMPP.
I haven't given the proposition more than a once-over, but I assume this will cover emails too?
Crazy how we had protests by right wing maniacs suspecting an evil dictatorship conspiracy behind everything, but when an actual aspect of dictatorship comes, nothing happens.
I donβt want to live on this planet anymore
I will probably end up using Matrix but they really have to leave the UK before those facist shits force them to implement a backdoor!
