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?

      Increased censorship, increased support for military expansion, broad political support for genocide, increasing support for anti-immigrant policies, increasing government spying and authoritarianism, escalation against leftists by the authorities… along with more & more European politicians openly aligning themselves with Nazis.

      What am I missing?

          In what way is this unrelated? The increase in government authoritarianism across Europe is inextricably tied to their escalation in tech-enabled government authoritarianism.

          I don’t understand how opposing the spread of Nazism across the globe isn’t at the top of everyone’s priority list. And I’m not sure why anyone would take issue with me calling it out, unless they’re sympathizers/collaborators.

            This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand. You should look up the definition of nazism.

              What definition are you seeing that excludes authoritarian surveillance by the state?

                Nazis might do surveillance. But surveillance doesn’t make you a nazi. You’re confusing correlation with causation.

                  Yeah, there’s a whole other slew of other indicators, which I already listed above.

                  I’d say it’s more that these same authoritarians are participating in genocide and sending arms to self-declared Nazis.
