What happens if Trump hits the “kill switch” and blocks Europe from American tech? No Amazon or PayPal. Netflix and YouTube blocked. The building blocks of our lives: inaccessible. But what was once an outlandish question is now less hypothetical. Today's Big Read is on #FTEdit 👉 ft.trib.al/mk8Sop4

I imagine in practice this would be done by pressuring companies to block the EU as a whole (so you can bypass it with VPN), but I'm a bit shocked with the inclusion of Signal in the app list. I imagine they would not comply?

Signal runs on AWS, so it can just be shut down that way :-/ They're not happy about it, but it's not like planet-scale cloud providers that can do real-time video are all over.
