Signal lämnar Sverige om regeringens förslag på datalagring klubbas | SVT Nyheter

Signal will leave Sweden if a proposed law requiring messaging apps to store communications passes next March. CEO Meredith Whittaker refuses to implement “backdoors” that would break the app’s encryption. While police support the measure for fighting crime, the Swedish military opposes it, having recently advised personnel to use Signal for secure communications. Whittaker warns backdoors create vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
