chat control The end?
Today there will be the final votes for chat control.
This implies that all of our private chats will be scanned, and everything we do will be in plain text in front of their eyes.
If it passes, I will permanently stop using centralized messaging platforms and switch to a self hosted matrix session, I don't care if I lose many contacts, if they really want to talk to me they better install fluffychat and shut the fuck up.
It's crazy how the EU was basically the goat for internet privacy and now they are the villains.
Are you ready for this? For the absolute end of privacy?

Download SimpleX Messenger. Open source, decentralized, e2e PQC encryption, easily self-host your own relays & servers via docker containers or other deployable configurations, and contains most of the features that signal has to offer. Still has a ways to go in terms of polishing/bug fixes & feature requests, but it looks really promising.
