Apple has said planned changes to British surveillance laws could affect iPhone users’ privacy by forcing it to withdraw security features, which could ultimately lead to the closure of services such as FaceTime and iMessage in the UK.
Good. Let’s all move to signal
For real, wish I lived in the UK so I could get all my friends to adopt signal finally lol
Signal have already said they will withdraw completely from the UK, as have WhatsApp, Session and a few others.
If and when Signal is packaged for F-Droid, how is the British government going to stop people in the UK from using Signal?
Knowing this gvmt, they’ll try and prevent access at the ISP level. They’ve already started making noises about tackling ‘the menace of VPN’s’.
