Signal strongly opposes the newest proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

@Mer__edith @echo_pbreyer

"the chats of employees of security authorities and the military are also to be exempted from chat control" ..

this means clients would need to identify who those people are, which is yet another potential privacy and security nightmare.

does this actually make me glad the UK isn't in the EU any more so i get to continue using Signal?
