   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.

     @Mer__edith @echo_pbreyer I think you've clarified this before, but "leave the EU market" means "treat the EU as a hostile regime whose people we need to provide circumvention tools from outside the jurisdiction" rather than "leave EU users behind", right?

     @dalias @echo_pbreyer Yes. TLDR we would not comply. Then they'd take whichever action they'd take in response to remove us from the market.
