How does the EU ban Signal if you dont comply? Users can download your app via the internet presumbly from anywhere.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany-chat-control.pdf

The same way they ban tiktok. They go for massive fines to all platform and network carriers. The TikTok ban is the blueprint to ban anything. Even Bitcoin network. Nothing is immune to this ban unless you have your own network backbone like China.
What platform and network carriers? Like app stores?
Come to think of it. TikTok ban also is blueprint for governments to force Signal to open up back door and concession etc. full stack ban is a death blow.
