Swedish government wants a back door in signal for police and âSĂ€poâ (Swedish federation that checks for spies)
Letâs say that this becomes a law and Signal decides to withdraw from Sweden as they clearly state that they wonât 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 donât use)
I just want the government to go f*ck themselves, yâknow?
People host signal proxy for countries where it is banned already. The primary impact of this law is on non technical people and new users thinking to switch to.
The real danger is people downloading random apks that could be compromised.
Or even backdoored by state actors.
Oh that irony would be painful.
Hereâs the repo in case anyone is interested in hosting an instance: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy
