Post a summary at least OP:
Signal CEO Meredith Whittaker says her company will withdraw from countries that force messaging providers to allow law enforcement officials to access encrypted user data, as Sweden continues to mull such plans.
Whittaker said Signal intends to exit Sweden should its government amend existing legislation essentially mandating the end of end-to-end encryption (E2EE), an identical position it took as the UK considered its Online Safety Bill, which ultimately did pass with a controversial encryption-breaking clause, although it can only be invoked where technically feasible.
She made the claims in an interview with Swedish media SVT Nyheter which reported the government could legislate for a so-called E2EE backdoor as soon as March 2026. It could bring all E2EE messenger apps like Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, and others into scope.

Sweden’s Armed Forces Opposed to the Bill
…
However, SVT reported that the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) oppose such a bill.
In a letter to the government, the Armed Forces said the bill could not be implemented “without introducing vulnerabilities and backdoors that could be exploited by third parties.”
FUCKING SEE! Even the military who could be more effective with unlimited access to every bit of communication for signals intelligence KNOWS it’s too much of a risk! Fucking dumb lawmakers! Let’s see how they like their phones hacked and EVERY bit of personal information stored on their 3rd brain (smartphone and digital life) be leaked and available for anyone to see!
They’re doing this on behalf of surveillance capitalism and enabling societal control for the corporate oligarchy. It has nothing to do with security or any other bullshit they claim.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
This. The Chat Control EU proposal is a Swedish idea as well, and the entire point of it is to invade people’s privacy.
After the EU elections parties that promised to vote against chat control backtracked and voted for it. One even excused it by saying that their representative had a senior moment.
