Regarding the whole chat-control thing that is comming up again: is Signal also a messenger that is in danger of being controlled or is this just affecting the already bad choises like WhatsApp and so on?

This is from October of last year but I would think they would do the same thing.https://aboutsignal.com/news/the-end-of-private-conversations-signal-threatens-to-leave-the-eu-if-chat-control-becomes-mandatory/

AFAIK chatcontrol 1.0 is about Facebook and stuff, exempting encrypted messengers.
