Signal would 'walk' from UK if Online Safety Bill undermined encryption - Privacy Community
Bosses of the messaging app fear the Online Safety Bill could force it to weaken its users' security.

The encrypted-messaging app Signal has said it would stop providing services in the UK if a new law undermined encryption. If forced to weaken the privacy of its messaging system under the Online Safety Bill, the organisation “would absolutely, 100% walk” Signal president Meredith Whittaker told the BBC. The government said its proposal was not “a ban on end-to-end encryption”.
