Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

How would you exactly leave EU market ? Ban all ips from eu?

@svitvojimilioni @echo_pbreyer We would not comply. Then what would happen would happen, which per the law would amount to somehow being prevented from operating in the EU. Likely through app store deplatforming but who knows.

Would you provide an alternative way for installing Signal in case you will be banned from distributing the app in the EU?

I don't think there is any reason to not let users download the .apk directly from web. For example Steam does that.
