Unfortunately it is only barely better in the EU, and not just because we use the same trashy US services. On the 14th of October the EU parliament decides about chatcontrol, and it doesn’t look too good right now. They’re close to completely eradicating trust of communication.
Lol, as if Telegram was even remotely better or would not bow to the EU.
I think the only safe bets would either be software that’s rather safe due to it’s FOSS nature (with servers outside of the EU), or those who simply do not give a shit. There’s als Signal clearly stating that if the EU does this their app will become unavailable, as they’d rather stop releasing their software to people than collaborating in surveillance and breaking their own secure protocol in some way.
Not to mention chatcontrol literally breaks both basic EU law, human rights as well as most national constitutions. They’d still try though, obviously. It would indeed shatter the current high trust in EU software.

Wanted to say the same, the uncle Sam hat might just as wel be replaced by an EU hat.
They’re close to destroying EU software trust. Everyone will just move on. Apps like Telegram who are not EU based are already spiking
