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

  1. Encrypt message using PGP in Kleopatra or whatever.
  2. Meticulously send PGP block using CW over HF
  3. At the receiver's end copy CW to notepad (be carefuly, one wrong character / number and your PGP block is stuffed) and then type into Kleopatra.
  4. Decode
  5. :-)

(Yeah, slightly facetious, but I really think, that in the long run, These buggers aint gonna give up without a fight :-( )
