    Good, not for us, but good that Signal is not backing down to the clowns who run this maple scented circus.

    For added context, a major user of Signal is the CAF. They’re literally required to have it on their phones, it’s a primary method of distributing critical information. Signal leaving Canada would be a very big deal.

      Good, maybe it will highlight the myopic decision making of Canada’s leaders.

        Maybe before it comes to that we can contact our reps and tell them to put a stop to this stupidity.

    I’ve been expecting this. My plan is to switch to Briar which has no servers to take down or block.

      Is Briar stable now ? We’ve never able to make it run properly

        I didn’t know Briat had a bad rep for stability.

        I’ve tested it with a tablet and phone at home.

        I’ll have to get my sister involved to see it works at a greater distance.

    This also strikes me as being bad for businesses, such as Canadian cloud providers and email companies - I have to imagine that a number of people will start looking elsewhere if this passes.
