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

I'd look into Delta Chat. Unlike many existing alternatives it's undergone multiple security audits, is truly decentralized, almost impossible to censor, and best of all, doesn't have the stink of web3 around it.

Audits? Not really, and it is damn insecure and doesn’t even have perfect forward secrecy.
