We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to open their secrets keys… we know that Microsoft, Google and Facebook have already agreed to this. On the other hand Signal for example had said that they would leave the EU if this law will be applied). We need to counter this, because this restrict the privacy and the security of the citizens. Even if you’re not living in the EU, you should take a look because that could encourage others to do the same! Please take a look of the situation and make you your own idea of the case. Find out here the votes results for now, by countries and more... mepwatch.eu

Some others organizations criticized the approval, a open letter/petition was posted here : globalencryption.org

PS : I know that this was posted on the community a bit before (https://lemmy.world/post/16093632) but I think this is really important and the people should know it. That's a really regrettable decision for the population. thx

So session, signal or telegram. OK.

First telegram is not private.

And then Signal would not keep his EU market if this law applied, for session and all more independents services they could maybe go trough this law... but even with this it's a big no-no

Telegram is an FSB cafe.

Signal's CEO has already said they will leave the EU if the law passes.

Session is cool but sometimes unreliable in the delivery.

SimpleX is also quite interesting. But I don't use it enough to say something about the reliablity.
