Time is running out.

On Sept 12, EU countries vote on chat control - a law that would make every messaging app scan your private chats before you even hit send.

Only six countries openly oppose it right now. Germany and several others are still undecided. MEPs from different parties are warning this is mass surveillance on everyone.

I'm terrified my kids will grow up in a world where every private thought gets scanned before they can share it. You can't have democracy without free speech, and you can't have free speech under surveillance.

Signal is very easily blocked using DPI (as is the case for me and a few billion other people). DeltaChat on the other hand relies on existing e-mail infrastructure (IMAP/SMTP) and thus completely federated. Blocking IMAP and SMTP isn't economically feasible, so many things rely on e-mail. It's basically piggy-backing on the largest federated infrastructure in the world. (Signal on the other hand is completely centralized)
