@nemo Original article with comments from Signal: https://therecord.media/signal-no-longer-cooperating-with-ukraine

Extended: I made a mistake in my original post. Signal has clarified they don't officially work with any government, including Ukraine. The situation is more nuanced: Ukrainian officials reported Signal stopped responding to their requests about Russian cyber threats, but this aligns with Signal's global policy of minimal data retention and non-cooperation with governments to protect user privacy. Signal's design makes it nearly impossible to provide most data requested by law enforcement. (1/2)

(2/2) The change in responsiveness raised concerns in Ukraine about potential exploitation by Russian actors, but it's part of Signal's consistent privacy stance.
