European regulators are cracking down on Facebook's ability to transfer data across the Atlantic. Now the tech giant is threatening to pull its services from more than 400 million European users.
I am most interested in the fallout of WhatsApp as the big messaging app. A new better app can take its place that does not have anything to do with 14 Eyes or NSA.
Telegram’s system is amazing in this regard. If they had E2EE by default, or if Signal adopts Telegram/Wire system of self assigning a username and hiding phone number away, it would be brilliant.
If Wire had not gotten sold to USA, it would be my favourite messenger app.
A small step for Europe, a big leap for mankind.

Signal has similar problems to WhatsApp, as far as contact upload to cloud is concerned. That said, it is not an anonymity based messenger.
