Delta Chat

While #chatcontrol poses an existential threat to the Freiburg merlinux GmbH and distributing #deltachat apps from within the EU to all stores worldwide, it would resist any chatcontrol legislation up to the German constitutional and EuGH courts.

If the EU based company would need to fold in a few years, there would likely be forks distributed outside the EU that will *seamlessly* continue to function. Our architecture and FOSS licensing makes sure of it. See also https://chaos.social/@delta/113417740762852318

@matiu_bidule Googles planned restrictions on users abilities to install software is horrible. But it doesn't have much to do with the #deltachat app distribution, as the gmbh is already registered across many stores. We would like to see non-android/non-apple mobile efforts to florish. But let's not mix it too much with the issue of #chatcontrol even if it's true that enforcing chatcontrol would likely imply enforcing app distribution via google/apple eventually, and canceling e2ee apps.
