WhatsApp uses the same encryption as Signal and chat screening won’t be exclusive to WhatsApp anyway, so whatever WhatsApp will need to implement to comply, Signal will have to follow.
End to end encrypted, I think chat control is all about client-side scanning so the app being open source is a big deal and would prevent client-side scanning because even if they build in client-side scanning, it’s open source and people can remove it.

Signal is open source, so no it will always be available without chat control. https://github.com/signalapp
Good luck setting up your own server and convincing everybody else to use that.
Signal is not federated. It relies on a central server, meaning for all intends and purposes Signal controls the entire chain.

Just have the server link a hidden device, boom, all chats decrypted.
Only if they do business in the EU…
Very true. It wont matter what pops up in the appstore after either.
