My comment on Twitter:
Not good.
Anyway, the only ethical option for Signal if this passes is to refuse to comply. Signal shouldn't even block the EU: let the EU block them.
It should be the only legal option too: implementing Chat Control is a crime against humanity. The US should explicitly criminalize compliance.
One crazy thing about Chat Control is that Signal is heavily used in Europe for military communications. They're proposing to backdoor the exact same system that they rely on for national security.
The EU bureaucrats pushing this are just psychopaths who want more power.

Why would they even have to comply with BS EU laws if they're based in the US?
It's like that old Monty Python sketch... "To fix Britain, let's tax all Chinese people living in China."
They don't even get revenue from ads, almost all of it is from donations and they accept BTC, so there is nothing the EU can do.
And if the EU orders ISPs to block the domain, there are VPNs and Signal could build in Tor support.

Just use simplex, xmpp on your own server, bitchat and etc. And of course only linux with coreboot/libreboot and real degoogled phones.

I like your suggestions, but most people in the world will not go for the *insert some geeky self-sovereign solution that might take more than 30 mins of tinkering.
Privacy should be the default in communication apps.
