The government wants Signal and Whatsapp to be forced to store messages sent using the apps. If it becomes a reality, we'll leave Sweden, says Signal's CEO Meredith Whittaker to SVT News.

According to Whittaker, the bill requires the encrypted messaging app Signal to install so-called backdoors in the software.

If you create a vulnerability based on Swedish wishes, it would create a way to undermine our entire network. Therefore, we would never introduce these backdoors, she says.โ€
