Fuck the Canadian uniparty
Thanks Meredith, at least someone defends privacy that can get headlines.
This woman has a spine of iron and more integrity than half the world's politicians put together:

We're fortunate to have her guiding policy for Signal. Clearly she's gathering people who see things the way she does:
In response to the amendments, Udbhav Tiwari, Signal’s vice president of strategy and global affairs, said that “creating a much weaker version of our product that collects all of this metadata, the choice for us, unfortunately, would be starkly clear: We will not make changes to our product.”
You should listen to her speak:

KC: "Do you think that there might be a push on Signal? There might be pressure put on Signal to try and start collecting data at any point in time? Is that a danger that you could be potentially facing?"
MW: "Well, let me put it this way, not on my watch."

I don't understand what pulling out of Canada would mean?
Same thing as PornHub “pulling out” of certain states - if geolocation matches, do not provide service
Thank you, I was starting to think maybe they had some physical presence there
Well done Signal. Keep fighting for all of us.
Good on signal
Hoping they still continue operations here in spite of C22.
And nothing will happen to them for it.
