- topranks 1y agoI mean it’s not hard to predict. Inevitably they will as their parent companies won’t give up such a big market. How well a ban on signal would be enforced if they don’t comply would be interesting. I still feel like this will fail to come into effect like all the other times. But we gotta keep eyes on it.
- rdm_blackhole 1y agoApple did not bend the knee in the UK, it forced the hand of the UK to reveal it's goals. Obviously we will see, I don't have much hope either. As for Signal, I hope they pull out as it will get media coverage somewhat on this issue.
- AAAAaccountAAAA 1y agoI have understood that Whatsapp is not a terribly profitable product for Meta, so it is possible that it would just be withdrawn from Europe, instead of making expensive and controversial modifications. iMessage is not really a thing in Europe. Apple phones are simply not popular enough here for it to be an useful feature. I guess Apple would just disable it for European users.
