    Laws don’t magically break encryption. I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

    They’re trying to force Signal to weaken the application, Signal says they won’t do it.

    They can ban Signal for not complying, but you know how difficult it is to ban a digital application? It might make it more popular since it’ll be one of very few actually secure messaging apps out there.

      I imagined the law would be enforced by a deal with google and some global android state approved keylogger/backdoor completely bypassing all apps including Signal. But yeah, I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around this.
