In case you missed the news, #ChatControl is back on the agenda of the EU governments: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/take-action-to-stop-chat-control-now/

We wrote before that strong e2e encryption is the only way to protect children online: https://simplex.chat/blog/20240601-protecting-children-safety-requires-e2e-encryption.html

Write to the MPs you voted for – every single letter can change the outcome.

And huge thanks to Patrick Breyer for fighting this insanity.

Would you remove the App/Play Store downloads for EU users?

Would the app still be available to them from GitHub or your website?

Would your smp servers block EU IP ranges from connecting to them?

If any applicable legislation were to be passed, then we will be getting a legal advice based on its final wording about what is the course of action that is both legal and also benefits our users most.

At this point it would be unprofessional to speculate about it.

"Both legal", so you would follow the EU law? That's a great motive to stop using simplex, no state law should be able to control it in any way.
