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?

    “But doing things correctly in life is difficult so why try”.

    People still do and build thinga the correct way. See Matrix and Element.

      Matrix is a long fuckin shot from “doing things right” it’s not even funny. Have you not seen their funding crisis, the cost to host, and the general inability for it to scale affordably?

      It’s almost a poster child for what I just said. Protocols are hard, that’s a great example. Funding is hard, that’s a great example. Software engineering is expensive, that’s a great example. 🤦

      Also please don’t straw man me. I’m stating the facts, protocols are hard to make. If you want to make one, you should know this, if you want to hand wave the word, then you should know this.

      Being more informed isn’t defeatism, stop trying to be toxic and swing anti intellectualism as a weapon to shut down conversation. If you don’t want people to talk and discuss topics of interest, STFU and go somewhere that isn’t here with that sort of attitude.
