    The Swedish politicians tried adding backdoors to encrypted apps for at least 20 years :P I don’t really understand why they still (ever) think it is a good idea

      The problem is that politicians don’t understand cyber security, whta their asking is basically the equivalent of closing the front door of a house and leaving the backdoor open. It was already proven to be a bad idea, eternalblue is a good example.
