Signal's CEO announced the decision to leave Sweden rather than comply with a government mandate requiring the capture and storage of all secure messages. This poses broader implications as similar regulations are being considered across the EU, UK, and US, potentially impacting the viability of encrypted communications for businesses. The CEO emphasized that compromising encryption would undermine Signal's entire operational framework and highlighted the risks of creating vulnerabilities that could endanger their network's security.
In practice, this means that we are asked to break the encryption that is the foundation of our entire operation. Asking us to store data would undermine our entire architecture, and we would never do that.
If we create a vulnerability based on Swedish demands, it would create a way to undermine our entire network.
