Then what's the point of "encrypted messages"? And even if this passes I'm confident that Signal, Matrix, p2p and other similar privacy platform won't comply. But hey if they do I'll start sending encrypted files

The hilarity of all of this is that this week the US government started warning citizens to use these platforms now because even the backdoors that were created for law enforcement to monitor suspects have been compromised, and now the telephone networks are absolutely infested with foreign hackers and the cost and effort to get them out may be too high and take too long.

Swedish FRA (like USA's NSA) have done the same.

But Swedish government doesn't listen and whant to enforce laws like HDA (hack Swedish devices with 0days). Realtime AI face recognition on public places. Force services like social media, isp, Telecom companies and more to save all traffic for up to 2 years incase of criminal activity.

Then we have Eu's "going dark" project that aims on attacking encryption.
