Signal President: "We will not walk back, adulterate, or otherwise perturb the robust privacy and security guarantees that people depend on" Signal President Meredith Whittaker spoke at RightsCon 25 conference in Sweden .

Apple was forced to kill its iCloud 's end-to-end encryption feature in the UK following a government's order to create an encryption backdoor to allow law enforcement access to users' data.

Sweden is also considering introducing a new law requiring all encrypted communications apps to create a similar backdoor.

"We'll we continue to push back," said Whittaker , pointing out how incidents like Salt Typhoon are a tangible example of what cryptographers, human rights experts, journalists and the technical community at large have been saying for decades "you cannot build a safe backdoor." She added: "Our position doesn't change. It doesn't change based on the year , it doesn't change based on jurisdiction. It's actually fairly simple.".
