The most I can say is its likely time to either swap to another OS like GrapheneOS or see if people find a way to crack what is deemed "uncrackable" That said, its better to keep pushing back however you can rather than acting like this is inevitible. It aint.

🇪🇺🚨 Next Tuesday, a dirty deal on #ChatControl 2.0 looms, allowing PERMANENT mass scanning of our private chats (so-called #SearchPlans). 😱 Speak up and email your MEPs NOW to stop this: ℹ️ chatcontrol.wtf ✍️ fightchatcontrol.eu/?level=national…
Screenshot of an info page (chatcontrol.eu) warning about “Chat Control 2.0.” A highlighted line says a potentially final and decisive trilogue takes place on Tuesday, 29 September. It warns EU governments want “search plans” to scan “parts of a service” (e.g., all group chats or all EU users), effectively mass scanning of private chats. It cites that the Council’s own Legal Service warned this could be “general and indiscriminate” and likely illegal. It also warns about keeping the “voluntary” Chat Control 1.0 as a loophole, mentioning high false positives and cases affecting minors.

Captura de una página informativa sobre “Chat Control 2.0”. Una frase resaltada indica que un trílogo potencialmente final y decisivo tendrá lugar el martes 29 de septiembre. La página advierte que los gobiernos quieren “planes de búsqueda” para escanear “partes de un servicio” (p. ej., todos los chats de grupo o todos los usuarios de la UE), lo que equivale a escaneo masivo de chats privados. Señala que el propio Servicio Jurídico del Consejo advirtió que esto podría ser “general e indiscriminado” y probablemente ilegal. También alerta del riesgo de mantener “Chat Control 1.0” como laguna “voluntaria”, con muchos falsos positivos y casos que afectan a menores.

No. KOSA is a surveillance / censorship law which will hand our sensitive information over to Big Tech companies to verify our age, which also leaves it susceptible to security breaches which have already happened in some areas. Identity fraud cases will skyrocket and free speech will be stifled.

It probably won't take the form of KOSA. It probably won't be catastrophic. It'll definitely change the experience on social media sites and will probably be poorly-recieved even if it was handwritten by God but I don't see leaving this alone as something sustainable
