Briar is hard to regulate because of it having no server, hence I was wondering: are they an alternative to whatever the EU is doing with general messaging apps?
Technically or legally?
Will Chat Control affect P2P apps such as Briar?

I don’t think that’s how the legal minded people think.
They’ll just go after the developers, force the program abandoned and illegal.

They just won’t comply. These FOSS services never have to worry about the law anyway - there are literal piracy sites, lol

FOSS is fucked either way in EU starting end 2027 because of CRA.
EU really is killing computing and software

Isn’t FOSS excluded from CRA. Why should it be fucked?
