rather GTFO the EU if they were forced to?

I did some searching and Signal indeed stated they won't do it. It seems
the DMA was only meant for Meta (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger). At
least that's how it seems to me. Signal has a problem with it since Meta
won't let Signal have a look at their encryption while Signal's is open
source.

I also remember the UK wanting to implement something and Signal's
reaction was that they would leave the UK.

But the EU is pushing to create some law, so they can scan messenger
apps, supposedly for "kiddie pr0n", but that's just BS.
