The EU still wants to scan all your chats – and the rules could come into force by October 2025

So Canada?
(They do have a history of going a little overboard with the homicidal stuff. But they've come a long way in the last few decades.)
I'd almost say lol, get a VPS in China.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and they have zero say over what I do, only what they do. China could demand and scream and bitch all they want over an encrypted set of programs and you'd never have to care, move to another domain and provider and copy-paste. Lock it down, only use it with encryption and let the wolves huff and puff until they're blue in the face.

Wtf. Is Signal going to be affected? I just recently installed Signal on my phone.
Signal has already stated that they will pull out of the UK if they go through with their version of this, I imagine they'll say the same for the EU.
Get a good VPN, exit it from a non-5 eyes country, and hope they don't start blocking by phone number alone.... and hopefully they'll drop the phone number requirement sooner than later.
Also, welcome to Signal!

Encryption. Is easy.

Maybe it’s time to restart some some old Greek traditions and propose a law that anyone proposing chat control - from here on out - gets banished for life from entering European soil ever again.

It's more about the latency since it's right over the border (<30ms). It's also a full 10Gbps so I can let family/friends use it and don't have to worry if a few of them are pulling the full 1Gbps from home connection. Doubt I'm gonna be able to match both of those with a Chinese VPS
Honestly looking at Mexican datacenters right now. Some are basically the same distance, just in the opposite direction lol

They were smart, those oiled fish-eating goatfuckers. So maybe yes, that - and also sortition and ostracism.

I think they already dropped the phone number req, not sure though -

Mexico actually sounds kinda brilliant, but who seems important. OVH has servers in Mexico, but I can imagine some hosters would get the Feds on the line and go "sure, here's his data".

That's true, ICE & Co. are also all over Mexico right now because of the cartels. The whole border lock down and immigrant round-up thing is only half of their current force. And one of the big things they've been doing down there is monitoring/tapping their communication networks.
So yeah, never mind, probably not a good idea. If it was just for torrenting or something it's probably fine, but beyond that I wouldn't push it.

The fuck is happening over there? Was there lead in the water?

I am in favour of this proposal.

Authoritarianism, duh. It’s a global thing.

I think they already dropped the phone number req, not sure thoughNo, still required. However, you can have a username of sorts to give to people and block finding you by phone number in the platform.

time to make my own shitty ass software to deal with this stuff
Let us know when it's ready for Alpha testing. Most of us will gladly give it a shot and help iron it out.

...run a country by myself? I suppose it's possible.
Where do I apply for citizenship? Non-resident citizen, as I still need to work to survive

You're answering the how, but I'm asking for the why.

Ugh, this shit again...
Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?

Financial issues among the general populace due to consolidation of wealth > oligarchs create propaganda that brown people are to blame > uneducated masses vote for authoritarians with empty promises
It's the same program human civilisation has know for millenia
