Bill C-22

Signal's vice president of strategy stated that the company would rather leave Canada than comply with Bill C-22, which could compromise end-to-end encryption. This decision is in response to the lawful access bill. The bill poses a threat to Signal's encryption methods.

Canada's Bill C-22 is a repackaged version of last year's surveillance bill, sparking concerns about privacy and government overreach. The bill has been criticized for its potential to infringe on citizens' rights. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has spoken out against the bill.
