Just means most encrypted chat apps will pull of of their market even Apple said the would so no FaceTime or iMessage coming soon to UK citizens. Also what really sucks for them is the syncing of messaging between other Apple devices would most likely have to be disabled as well.
I'm just waiting with baited breath to see how far this goes. It's astounding, it's incomprehensible that we would even entertain the idea of backdooring e2e.
That's bated breath btw. Unless you're tryna catch something with your CO2.
Haha ok thanks.
It feels so wrong to be rooting for Big Tech, but I really want them to just pull the plug and watch the UK react
If, for example, Signal pulls of of their market, how can you force people not to use it? Signal never had office or any legal representation in my country and I'm using it?
What does that mean "pull of of their market" for some app you can download and use as you wish?
Easiest way is prevent download of the app from the App Store based on your region especially on iOS that is hard to get around.
worst case scenario (android): https://signal.org/android/apk/
that is why we need to keep #i2p healthy
