Well I see that Signal are pulling out of Sweden as the government there wants a
back door. The problem with a legal back door is that those who wamt to do
criminal acts will actively search for it

I think people need to understand the value of encryption in this day and age
and not see it as hiding something from the governments. Media is partially at
fault for showing encryption as bad but also the users of encryption are also
not showing why it has a use in daily comms.

I guess you can do that with anything
