Leave Sweden?

notitianon.bsky.social•5 days ago

Signal may leave Sweden over a proposed law forcing messaging apps to create backdoors for government access.

Yeah i replied before bothering researching lol. Thank you tho, appreciate it.

Bit like Apple and the UK, although Apple just turned off the encryption that offends the UK government.

Interesting that the UK tells its armed forces to use Signal for messaging rather than the likes of WhatsApp, and I did see someone claim Sweden did the same.

Signal has been critical for us in protecting folk's right to vote as it has allowed ups to safely transmit situation reports so we could react to MAGAs doing voter suppression.

If only they fixed their UI. Why does everything look so big on signal? Seriously, it fits much less chats than WhatsApp. It looks horrible. Other than that, signal is great!

Don’t forget to create in-person networks and use dead drops and air-gapped laptops.

Support !! - we need Signal. We all need privacy and encryption. We must all refuse ill advised demands for backdoors etc. Everyone. We friends, are many, they are few.

Encryption is dead anyway.

Thank you for sharing this news. I very likely would have missed it otherwise.

the cartoonishly bad Butler Secret Service detail was using Slack to ensure their guy got the very best strong-man camera angles

At some point, when the criminals move completely from Telegram to Signal, radical measures will be taken. It's just going to happen...

notitianon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Signal’s encryption is real, unlike Telegram’s. They’re not the same—Signal takes privacy and security seriously in ways Telegram doesn’t.

thegridsurfer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nobody talks about functionality, but about who uses it.

notitianon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Signal uses end-to-end encryption by default, meaning even Signal can’t read your messages, making it difficult for governments to spy. Telegram lacks this, making surveillance easier. It’s not about who uses it—it’s about how secure the platform really is.

I think one of the best things about Signal is that if one day you find yourself bored, you can go check out the code. https://github.com/signalapp
