Signal lämnar Sverige om regeringens förslag på datalagring klubbas
www.svt.se
Den krypterade meddelandeappen Signal växer – nu använder till och med Försvarsmakten appen. Men regeringen vill tvinga bolaget att införa en teknisk bakdörr åt Polisen och Säpo. – Om det blir verklighet så lämnar vi Sverige, säger Signals chef Meredith Whittaker, i en exklusiv intervju med SVT.

Swedish government wants a back door in signal for police and ‘Säpo’ (Swedish federation that checks for spies)

Let’s say that this becomes a law and Signal decides to withdraw from Sweden as they clearly state that they won’t implement a back door; would a citizen within the country still be able to use and access Signals services? Assuming that google play services probably would remove the Signal app within Sweden (which I also don’t use)

I just want the government to go f*ck themselves, y’know?

    As a sweed, I get really irritated at my country. We were also the ones who introduced chat control into the EU… I fear we’re turning into the USA…

      Nah. You guys make more weapons per capita than us. We could never catch up to your weapons industry.

      Who do you sell to, btw?

      Not only USA, but Chains and “Great” Britain as well. You saw how they magaged to get access to all encrypted data stored on Apple’s servers within UK.

      The politicians in power in Sweden, currently, explicitly said no to chat control 2.0 during the election process. They get voted… And now they pushed it into the EU and are supporting it. Terrible.
