Encrypted messaging app Signal will 'walk' out of the UK if the Online Safety Bill undermines encryption. We will not walk. We ask PM Sunak, will you block access to encryption, just like authoritarian Russia & Iran?
BTW: Both strategies are great to put pressure on the UK to NOT pass the Online Safety Bill - which is what we all want.

This press release is extremely cringe after @Mer__edith explained where that misleading headline came from and your account even apologized! 🙄
(screenshots in case you decide to go full cringe and delete the apology)
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Because the journalist interviewing me asked a hypothetical: if you had the choice between staying and weakening encryption or walking, which would you choose? And obviously the choice -- in the context of that hypothetical -- is to proverbially walk. This is clear in the body AND abstract of the article, even though they chose a headline w less nuance. OF COURSE we'd set up proxies and etc before "walking". And what "walking" would actually entail is not straightforward.
