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.

where are the companys lobbying against this btw?? i mean it is their data they will be leaked aswell

That is also a good point. Generally this is dangerous for all and sundry.

If they can lobby they'll just lobby to get all their competitors' data after it passes.

Why would they care about leaks? I guess that's some missed profit on selling the data, but that's only if there's a breach.

i mean like company espionage and similar threats than leaked user data...
