The Center Party is one of the parties that oppose the government’s bill. MP Niels Paaruup-Petersen believes that the proposal opens for other unwanted actors to use the technical rear doors.
– If you open back doors to the police, there are also rear doors that others could use, he tells SVT News.
LUF: Risals of becoming a target for “hackers from rogue states”
The Liberals’ Youth Association (LUF) federation chair Anton Holmlund looks just like Paarup-Petersen’s great risks with the bill. He believes that apps as a signal are an important asset for the Armed Forces and political parties for secure communication.
“In addition, these data storage systems would be highly valued targets for hackers from rogue states such as China and Russia,” said Anton Holmlund in a press release from the youth association.
“We risk losing confidence in digital communication, whether it is about the privacy of private individuals, corporate secrets or the security of the state,” he adds.
Want to be constitutional to the right to encrypted information
LUF writes that they instead want to see that the right to encrypt information should be constitutionally protected.
Something that even the Pirate Party highlights as an alternative idea.
“The very defense force uses encrypted signal, and criticizes the government in order to force back doors that increase the risk that foreign and malicious power is listening to them. Sigh. The Pirate Party wants to continue to protect the right to encrypted communication ”, writes the party on X.
SVT News has sought Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer.
“The proposal for the so -called adaptation obligation for communication apps has been referred and the referral period recently expired. The outcome is currently being analyzed within the Government Offices, and the government will return to the issue, ”Minister’s press secretary Ebba Koril writes to SVT.
SVT News has also sought the Armed Forces.
