Hi

Does such a project via Github (which is Microsoft) deserve trust? I'm not so sure about that.

Hi Martin
GnuPG will not be dead. The question is, which app or server will affect the Chat Control. When the Spot-On Messenger released in 2014 the POPTASTIC feature, which was encrypted chat over e-Mail, and Delta.Chat was 2016 based on it, it was not a new encryption feature, but a dual-use of a server, which cannot deny encryption. Now with several days release of new Spot-On Messenger for Linux (K/ubuntu) and Mac a similar feature has been released.
GPG ist used for chat over GIT.

Means, you need a Git account and chat over two GIT Accounts via a GIT Server with each other, and it appears as a git commit with ciphertext :-)

The Feature is called prison blues.
if you connect in the middle an Echo Server, the message is also sent to GIT or to anther instance by a proxy, the feature is called Human Proxies:

So use a Git Server to chat with GPG.
Works also from terminal on Linux. Discover it. Pobably it takes like Poptastic again 10 years.
Regards Tom

    Hi

    Perhaps I missed the discussion here - if so, please send me the link.

    My question would be, what will actually happen to GnuPG if the EU's
    announced and threatened chat control really comes into effect? What
    impact will this have on encrypted emails? Will GnuPG still have a
    future, and if so, how?

    Thanks.
