Wtf. Is Signal going to be affected? I just recently installed Signal on my phone.

    Signal 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!
