   Wow.. so, with a simple declaration, they can force a product     
   that cannot necessarily decrypt a user's messages to be     
   reengineered so that it does?  That's ridiculous.   
      
   At the very least, there are development costs involved to     
   "break" E2EE, and the implementation. Is the EU going to be     
   paying for those changes?   
      
      
    MP>  Encryption is indeed the technology that the likes of   
    MP>  Tuta Mail, Proton Mail , Signal, and WhatsApp (but also   
    MP>  the best VPN services) use to keep our communications   
    MP>  private. A protection that mandatory scanning and   
    MP>  detection technologies are set to dangerously undermine,   
    MP>  warn experts.   
      
   Federated/distributed systems such as Session, Simplex, and     
   Briar, (and even PGP-mail where each end user has control of     
   their keys) ought to be immune to the Chat Control proposal.
