Signal President Meredith Whittaker says she is again threatening to pull the encrypted messaging app from the UK, citing concerns about how the UK government is regulating technology. Whittaker frames the dispute around a proposed phone-screening approach and wider regulatory pressure, arguing that any compliance steps could weaken the technical guarantees Signal users rely on for privacy. In comments aired on The Mishal Husain Show, she says Signal would rather leave a market than “undermine the technical guarantees” that protect users’ privacy. The company’s position focuses on preserving the security properties of its service, rather than accepting changes that could affect how Signal functions on users’ devices. The Bloomberg reporting describes the threat as a continuation of Whittaker’s earlier statements, positioning the UK regulatory approach as the central issue behind the possibility of withdrawing from the market. The reports do not indicate that Signal has taken action to exit or that the UK has responded in detail within the coverage summarized here.
