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?

    Shithole called hungary… had no choice at this point, my sister is trans so we kinda escaped that place. Thankfully hungary is eu so it was easy to move here. Pretty nice so far apart from even this place slowly turning to the right but every country is doing that right now…

      Been to Budapest. Beautiful town and very nice people there. That’s where I learned that Victor Orban is also called ‘The Victator’.

      I don’t think Sweden is going to turn too much to the right, but I agree that the current trend is concerning.

      Get crime under control again and I’ll think we’ll see a left turn. Sadly the people who benefit from the current crime wave are also in power, but I still have faith in most of our politicians. They’re not as bad as they could be, as exemplified by other “leaders”.
