Following the "voluntary" scanning added in the latest EU Council Chat Control vote, what is a realistic option for a family/friends chat? Is self hosting your own Matrix/DeltaChat server the only opt (piefed.zip)

By "shared" servers I mean hosters like https://tchncs.de/en/ who offer a bunch of services (they do a great job at it by the way) including Matrix and Lemmy.

I'm thinking of moving my close family to a Matrix chat over there, but I guess long term they might have to implement the ChatControl scanning.

This whole thing is just stupid.

GrapheneOS probably a big step for reducing the number of people with access, I think

It's definitely going to be context-based:

I don't mind getting used Pixels for my parents and my sister
DeltaChat allows to create several profiles, so I can at least have one profile dedicated to chats with my family where everyone uses a secure device
for other stuff, I accept that it will be scanned, but it's less critical
