One point of hope is that they mandated cross platform chat compatibility too, and every platform is just… Ignoring it and not doing it with zero consequences.
Feeling hopeful about giant tech companies ignoring attempts to reign them in is unwise, even when it occasionally lines up with something you personally want. And I even say that as someone with permanent distrust of the big power structures doing the regulating.
Of course chat control would be practically infeasible. But it’s not even about that. It’s about the simple fact that the EU commission ignores the will of the people, when the people have already clearly said NO. It’s about the disrespect that the EU commission exerts against the people. That in itself is unacceptable.
Don’t get your hopes up. The police and secret services don’t care about cross platform compatibility, but they’re chomping at the bit for mass surveillance.

Maybe this just also won’t happen.
