What apps can resist that type of surveillance?

It'll depend how it's finally implemented at the OS level, I'd say.

Asking the fox to look after the chickens

Chat Control will probably not be implemented at the OS level. It targets the app developers and platforms. So even graphene will not help you, if you use apps that bake in scanning. However it can still help you installing OSS without scanning and will sandbox scanners into their own apps

Apps are the target. Resisting would mean being uncompliant with EU law.

Things are getting more and more complicated...

Done. Even though The Netherlands was already opposing. Hopefully now more opposing. Got 15 out of office replies out of 30 mailed MEPs. 😂

I know no details of how they want to implement something like this, but it would be easier to target OS than apps, imo. Targeting Android and iOS you can achieve 99% of mobile users. OS builders are few and bigger than app builders, so they are an easier target for institutions. Because how can you target every app to comply? As I said, dunno their intentions, but this is a recipe for disaster. 🫂

I guess because getting their malware into an OS will be much more trickier and might even startle normies. But yeah, while OS would be worse, both are bad

By the way, I hope you are right: It's easier to change the messaging app than to change the OS. 🫂

Off course it will be implemented in the OS level, iMessage and Airdrop and all native iOS apps and Android apps and services are affected

Done

Yes, that is right. What I meant that it won’t be implemented as a single thing that observes everything, but instead each app will have its own malware inside. Otherwise sandboxes could probably handle this more easily
