Yeah, means Signal would just not have a presence eg an office or local routing/CDN servers in the countries that demand backdoors.
It would mean slower service for anyone in such countries, but the service would not stop working or become less secure.
It’s negative either way, as it chips away at the legitimacy of private E2E chat, and legislators the world over seemed determined not to learn that there’s no such think as “backdoors, but just for the good guys”. You either have a resilient end-to-end zero trust encrypted system or you don’t.
Would hosting in Albania be a solution? It’s in the Europe continent, but it’s not a member of European Union. UK is also fighting encrypted communications.
