NEW: Signal says it will leave Europe rather than comply with the EU’s proposed mass-surveillance law.
The law would force messaging apps to break encryption by installing scanners inside private chats.
Signal president Meredith Whittaker said the app will never compromise user privacy to satisfy government demands.
Good for Signal, bad for me.
Signals decision is good for you as well.
Just that they're forced to make it sucks big time.
What would happen if I still wanted to use it inside the EU? Only possible with VPN?
I would assume it'd be geo-fenced, keeping out anyone with a European IP address, so set those VPNs to Switzerland, boys 😄
