@sammi @joelanman @ambiguous_yelp Some people's definition of "nearly backdoored" is "clowncar government from small irrelevant island full of TERFs had a tantrum and asked them to backdoor it"... 
@ambiguous_yelp:ahimsa.chat @dalias @sammi @joelanman Way to alienate millions of people. I live in uk. If it gets backdoored here then signal is irrelevant and useless to me and all my activist friends
@ambiguous_yelp @sammi @joelanman It won't get backdoored. Absolute worst case is it gets removed from centralized app stores availability in UK and you have to use existing version or sideload it.
@ambiguous_yelp @sammi @joelanman To be clear, I pestered Meredith over and over about this when the official word was that they would withdraw from UK.
Understandably Signal didn't want to give away their hand early, but ultimately she clarified that this would mean treating UK like other hostile states requiring circumvention of law & possible circumvention of network blocks via proxy infrastructure, and that they were committed to protecting UK users.
