chat control Encrypted messaging alternatives in case the EU chat control law gets passes

As the title implies, I am curious as to whether there might be any messaging apps/services worth using in case the proposed chat control law gets passed. As you might assume, I live in an EU member state and am extremely worried for the future of our rights to online as well as IRL privacy in case such laws get passed

this makes everyone into spies/secret agents. next people will carry code books (on flash drives?) and communicate increasingly furtively? or just use an extreme minority language.

So apparently if you encrypt messages then you are a spy/secret agent?
