If it's a paid online backup, I'm ok with that. If they want to take my local backup away... Well that's another story

They can't take it away, because, even if they remove the feature, other people can fork Signal, and bring it back.

It's just a paid online backup, although nothing else (like whether it'll leave a free tier) is really confirmed now.

Awesome! Signal looking into fair ways to monetize. I'm not against it.
