Comment on New EU Chat Control proposal moves forward

Comments

Legit question: if this disaster of a legislation passes, what are the alternatives to provide secure messaging / comms when you are inside the EU? The only 2 options that I can think about are:

- The Dark Web: TOR, I2P (<--- not sure why I2P didn't gain more popularity) or potemntially other alternatives in the same space

- VPN outside the EU and access a secure messaging system via the VPN exit point. This would assume that the system would have E2EE / some kind of at least superficial privacy guarantees.

Am I missing any major category / tech combination?
