How the police of a small country (it is not the FBI) breaks into? I do not get this.

I would think that the “small country” has its own policy with services like Signal. Doesn’t the EU have it’s own policy that covers all EU members? California has it’s own grip on privacy policies too.

If you don’t mind occasional lost “packets” then your snail mail metadata can even exclude the sender, which is slightly better than internet traffic.
