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?

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.

It's not stopping the far-right, don't let it stop you!
