If the law is implemented I will self host my own signal proxy and distribute patched apps to those in need

If the law is implemented, I would selfhost my own chat server. I don’t see this as Signal fault.
But everybody can`t selfhost. That is a problem I am struggling with.
I am now sure what I would do about email, I assume it is affected as well?

I looked into signal servers some years ago and found nothing, are you meaning like tunnel things to another country?
Mubelotix@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
Yes, just to bypass any blocking

That’s actually a smart idea!
Not more legal or something (if that stupid laws becomes reality) I guess but who cares ☺️.

I already self host my own matrix server. Everybody can’t do that, but everybody can use someone’s matrix server. They can’t shut it down because it’s decentralised and federated. It would theoretically be illegal to use but I don’t see how they would be able to stop it.
Email with PGP would then also be illegal but impossible to effectively stop. That’s why the whole discussion is so stupid. It only hurts the normies. Criminals and tech savvy people will find a way around it and still use encryption without mandated backdoors.
