This is your regular reminder that government mandated backdoors for end-to-end encrypted comms are bullshit, make everyone less safe, and should be resisted at maximum volume.
Proposed bill in Sweden would require Signal/WhatsApp to store messages users send through the apps and provide a backdoor to gov/law enforcement to read the encrypted comms. Signal head @meredithmeredith.bsky.social says Signal will halt service for users in Sweden if this becomes a requirement

Conservatives want a world that combines existing structures that discriminate by race and gender in all spheres of life with “race-blind” and “gender-neutral” selection processes (like hiring and admission practices) that pretend those structures don’t exist. They call the result “meritocracy.”
