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 know, now you’ve got me wanting to try my hand at submitting a fix for your second issue.

    So to summarize:

    • You copy or share a one-time contact link via SimpleX.
    • The sender sends it.
    • The receiver gets it.
    • The receiver clicks on the link, and Meta adds a bunch of extra tracking nonsense onto the link.
    • SimpleX throws an exception (“invalid link” or something, right?)

    Is that how it goes, in your experience?
