Signal has already threatened to pull out of both Australia and the UK when they were talking about passing similar laws.

    This is yet another way tying accounts to phone numbers can come back to bite you! I guess pulling out means denying registration from the country's numbers as well? So that would mean either a constant additional expense (which might be significant for poor people), or constantly risk getting the account deleted if you tied it to one-time rental.
