Signal said it would leave the EU if they were forced to break encryption, though. All other local alternatives (like Threema) would also comply.
Comment on Did the EU just propose to add back doors to encryption mechanisms?

Never going to be enforceable, microsoft and google will probably cave but if you care about privacy you already don’t use their products.

Delta.chat, xmpp/jabber, Matrix. Just host your own server and don’t rely on centralised services.

Mind you that Signal is based in the US.

It’s also open-source and privacy-focused, so I’m not sure to what extent it makes a difference. If signal were to go astray it can always be forked.
In fact, I already use Molly because it is even more security and privacy focused.

They said they would leave the EU. They didn’t say people couldn’t use their service via a VPN (which is the solution they suggested).

Self hosting an encrypted app (e.g. XMPP) on a VPS outside jurisdiction, in a country that just doesn’t comply.
Also add a VPN to all devices to make discovery of such things that much more difficult.

And neither will the bad guys.
