If and when Signal is packaged for F-Droid, how is the British government going to stop people in the UK from using Signal?
Knowing this gvmt, they'll try and prevent access at the ISP level. They've already started making noises about tackling 'the menace of VPN's'.
They'll be out in six months to a year and since it takes them forever to achieve anything I wouldn't worry.
If you've got to have a right wing fascist government hope for an incompetent one.
Which would be fine except Starmer approves of all the things contained in the various bits of legislation.
I never would've thought that the US would be the place for better privacy
