## Summary

Sweden's government is pushing through legislation that would force Signal, WhatsApp and all other messengers to save all messages for the government to gather. Simplified Privacy says it has no bank accounts or country registration and promotes encryption-based identity tools such as Nostr, Bastyon, Arweave, Session and PGP. It also points to its earlier podcast on Mullvad, which is based in Sweden, saying that criticism predicted this news from how countries voted on past legislation. The title quotes Signal's CEO saying "We're leaving Sweden," but the text contains no such statement.

New legislation that forces message collection

New Law

Sweden’s government is pushing through new legislation that forces Signal, WhatsApp, and all other messengers to SAVE all messages for the government to gather. [1]

Mullvad

Once again, I encourage you to check out our recent podcast on Mullvad, whose home is in Sweden, and this exact criticism was laid out (predicting this news story based on how the countries voted in past legislation). And that was the least of the criticisms. [2]

Encryption as Identity

Simplified Privacy has no bank accounts and no registration with any country for this exact reason. And that’s why encryption as identity tools, such as Nostr, Bastyon, Arweave, Session, and PGP-arbitration-registration, are our true home.
