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?

    You can still download the APK from their repository, install it, and use signals built in censoring-evasion setting as far as I know.

    They are even working on self updating app feature IIRC.

    This is why I donate to signal. I know there are decentralized alternatives but I can barely get my family and friends to use Signal.
