Comment on The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025
oppy1984@lemdro.id 1 week agoSignal has already stated that they will pull out of the UK if they go through with their version of this, I imagine they’ll say the same for the EU.
Get a good VPN, exit it from a non-5 eyes country, and hope they don’t start blocking by phone number alone… and hopefully they’ll drop the phone number requirement sooner than later.
Also, welcome to Signal!

No, still required. However, you can have a username of sorts to give to people and block finding you by phone number in the platform.
