Swedish government wants a back door in signal for police and ‘Säpo’ (Swedish federation that checks for spies)
Let’s say that this becomes a law and Signal decides to withdraw from Sweden as they clearly state that they won’t implement a back door; would a citizen within the country still be able to use and access Signals services? Assuming that google play services probably would remove the Signal app within Sweden (which I also don’t use)
I just want the government to go f*ck themselves, y’know?
No, probably not. They both speak the same protocol and talk to the same servers.
Unless the block was a app store distribution restriction only
It probably is/was/will be just the app store.

Even if it’s not Molly could implement Tor or any sort of bridge to bypass these restrictions (such as Signal themselves)

I think Signal made it so Iranian could use the app when their government blocked it through proxy. https://signal.org/blog/help-iran-reconnect/
