So much for it being “dropped” I guess. It looks like they are going to force this through one way or another, and the only option is to resist by any means possible.

I am in the US, but I’ll do my best to build and promote tools and services that EU citizens can use to circumvent this.

I couldn’t find the text of it (unsurprising if it’s being rushed through), but how does it “outlaw anonymous communication”?

That sounds even more terrifying than the original chat control! How is this the back door “compromise”?

This makes me feel pissed off. I used to be Pro EU, now I'm not so sure. (Suddenly I understand Trump voters.)
The EU itself is mostly an admittedly flawed but good idea. The problem is that too many voters keep going for authoritarianism because of racism and hate.
What Now?

- Keep your mainstream big platform accounts for discovery and casual conversations. Feed big platforms giga-tons of crap data to give the AI indigestion and diarrhea.

- Set up open source platforms to tinker on, share with small groups of friends. Focus on cattle vs kittens keeping servers ephemeral and mostly-stateless. Keep data encrypted and backed up to secure locations, logs in tmpfs or /dev/null. Practice live migrations and secure wipes of old nodes.
