Signal has issued a warning that it may exit the French market if the government mandates encryption backdoors for messaging apps. The company emphasizes that such measures undermine user privacy and security, sparking a debate on data protection in Europe.

France is advocating for legislation that would enable law enforcement agencies to access encrypted messaging services like Signal and WhatsApp, as well as encrypted email platforms. This move aims to bolster security but raises concerns about user privacy and data protection.
