Haha! Do it if the EU does not give up on their Orwellian control!
Wait, I'm in the EU and I use Signal!
Basically, but what you forget is that Signal is also the standard for every Politician for their group chats because it's secure, so the idea that they might lose their secure, leak-free* form of communication should worry MEPs and other politicians into taking action. Will it? I don't know, politicians are very stupid when it comes to tech it seems.
* Baring screenshots
There's an explicit clause that exempts politicians from the ban. They get privacy because they need it, but nobody else does.
That's completely backwards. The the extent we give people authority, they must also accept monitoring, so we know they aren't abusing that authority.
Ooh how convenient.
