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

Also, welcome to Signal!
I think they already dropped the phone number req, not sure thoughNo, still required. However, you can have a username of sorts to give to people and block finding you by phone number in the platform.
