⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If this is passed, would this only apply to people in France? Like Signal and WhatsApp, etc, could they make a different version of the app / backend that’s unencrypted just for them? Is that even possible? I can’t imagine Signal adding a backdoor for everyone in the world.

Or would they just outright pull their software / apps from being used in France? But then what’s stopping someone in France from sideloading the app and using a VPN?
