The best move for the US based messaging companies (Signal, are there others?) would be to leave the United States.

Apple, Google, Facebook cannot leave.

Telegram has never been in the US.



> Apple, Google, Facebook cannot leave.

Well, that's their problem.

I think we will see a lot of companies founded in the next decade ready to take over such services in the EU. China already has its local companies, and the rest of the world will not be far behind.


What do you mean, "can't leave"? Of course they can spin off another company registered outside the US and turn the old one into a subsidiary.
