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?
The Swedish government can go suck a lemon.
I donât think this will happen: Their department of defense has adopted Signal for internal communication, and there is no way in hell they would want a backdoor built in. In fact, the article says they have already opposed the suggestion.
The government is very split on many questions. Privacy being a weird one because itâs the (somewhat) left-leaning Social Democratic that usually come up with these crazy ideas without understanding the implications of privacy.
