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?

    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, the entity that couldn’t make a functioning TODO app given a couple million EUR budget, is regulatory killing computing, software and digital communications.
