Signal's CEO: Then We're Leaving Sweden | Sweden Herald
-
There are a few people in my social bubble that are not technical at all, but heard a few bad things about WhatsApp and that's why they are using Signal. Nothing more, they do not know how it works, they do not know who provides it.
-
That’ll curb the majority of Signal use in Sweden.
...unless a bunch of users plan to actually do something illegal, in which case a delisting from the app store doesn't stop anything. Once again, it's just to enable data collection about as many ordinary citizens as possible.
-
"Leaving a country" for digital services usually means not providing services there anymore.
-
thats not the target audience, thankfully.
-
The target audience is everybody with a Smartphone.
The majority of people in my signal contacts are there because someone (sometimes me) pushed them to use it instead of WhatsApp.
-
Thanks, this makes a lot more sense.
... i keep, time and again, searching for things, only to discover my "search goal" is not based in reality. -
The question was what Signal would do though ...
-
It would have been good of the article to mention that important tidbit...
-
Leave Sweden so they dont have to follow these regulations.
-
And now they'll hear something bad about Signal and move on as they did with WhatsApp, as per your example.
-
It happened like 2 weeks ago so I will forgive them for missing it.
-
It’s worth noting that mullvad is based in Sweden
-
I don't get how its supposed to work...they want to require messengers to include backdoors in their software? So when a program is FOSS, then you can literally just use it knowing there is no backdoor..also, what blocks you from using a server in different country? Wtf that even means...
-
No wonder they pussied out and removed port forwarding
-
Uuh... Ok? How is that relevant?
-
And gobbles Trump's knob publicly.
They won't need a law to force compliance.
-
Mullvad has proven time and time again that they don't log anything at all. Even if they give backdoor access, there's nothing to record.
-
Directly.
-
Sci-fi writing in here I see
-
There needs to be a messaging app which provides a backdoor for every government that requests it. Every time some dumbfuck legislator asks for a super-giga-secure-backdoor they promise not to misuse, they should be directed to that app.
