Companies that operate in Europe should publicly make all meta data available for all communications, especially for politicians because that will be the end result after hackers go after this data trove.

Politician’s may as well get used to everyone knowing who they are in touch with. And I for one would love to see who they text at 2am.

I wish so much that this would happen.

Funny. My brother works for a European agency - in Brussels. The agency mandated use of Signal as messenger for internal commumications a couple of years ago.
