The EU needs to stop passing effectively the same bill 15 times...

Awesome chat guys! I have a question if there ever come a law that would need you guys to be able to unencrypt data, would you move location? If yes any idea where to?

We are monitoring this situation closely and are weighing options should the worst case scenario with Chat Control come to pass. The date of the vote has already been moved to Thursday, likely due to pressure raised by activists and citizens like you. Please be loud and make some noise to make more people aware of what is happening. Together we can put a stop to Chat Control!
