Regarding the whole chat-control thing that is comming up again: is Signal also a messenger that is in danger of being controlled or is this just affecting the already bad choises like WhatsApp and so on?
This is from October of last year but I would think they would do the same thing.https://aboutsignal.com/news/the-end-of-private-conversations-signal-threatens-to-leave-the-eu-if-chat-control-becomes-mandatory/
AFAIK chatcontrol 1.0 is about Facebook and stuff, exempting encrypted messengers.
For now
They write it makes it legal to add message scanning client side however.
one can only hope :) i dont want to look for anothe messenger again 🙈
FightChatControl.eu gives a good overview on the differences between ChatControl 1.0 and 2.0
