I will move to Linux phone if chat control is enforced. Chat control violates all existing privacy regulations. It's insane.

    You're lucky if you don't depend on apps such as banking apps or Ryanair digital boarding passes

    We’re going to need a sanctioned phone just for banking and another one for everything else. Plus maybe a third one to take to demonstrations etc. Just great :(

    That is a problem for future Melroy. Hopefully some apps can just be used in a web app, so just going to their website.

    I also read about android virtualization within a container. Basically allowing you to still run android apps but we will see..

    I use hardware TAN generators but my bank's app works on LineageOS and GrapheneOS. If my travel service doesn't accept printed out documents then it is not a travel service I will use.

    That won't work in the sense on page 35, Article 2 definition (f) it says that this applies to

        (ii)an interpersonal communications service;
    (iv) an internet access service;

    as well, meaning your phone provider and ISP. It's highly the approach to enforce this would couple e-SIM and some app on your phone or computer that things have to be routed through. Or you just don't get cell/internet service.

    This has not yet happened even in the most authoritarian jurisdictions, with the possible exception of North Korea. The Internet is built with open protocols so any restrictions will have to be implemented on the network edge. There is no vendor locking for on-prem routers in multiple countries. As long as all purpose computers are not illegal you can still use strong encryption and anonymizing services on your end devices on your own network. So any mandatory surveillance and tracking will have no power there.

    I would be happy to be wrong.

    The entire "proposal" is absolutely crazy from start to finish anyway. It's just that these companies will have to do ______ or be labeled or held liable for aiding in the distribution of CP.

    Who knows what they will come up with.

    I think the strategy used the world-over, is to surveil everyone and build network graphs. You may work extremely hard to secure your device and communications, but the algorithms will build up a dossier on you based on all of the people you associate with who are less capable or motivated. Machine learning is insanely good at filling in missing data in an information rich dataset.
