Forgive me if this is an obvious stupid question, but with all this talk (again) about the EU trying to force chat platforms to check the content of its messages, I can help but think: how are they ever going to prevent me and my friend from sharing public keys and using them to encrypt our messages to each other? In other words: how are they ever going to be able to ban encryption?

    Even if it’s based on Signal’s encryption, it doesn’t mean it’s implemented as it is in Signal.

      Exactly.

      They generate the keys, that’s all you need to know in order to know that it isn’t secure.
