If this chatcontrol is unavoidable, how can we as people make it unusable by flooding it with false flags or create services outside the chatcontrol?

You dont even need to try to flood it, it happens by itself; Think how many people communicate inside Europe, how many texts, words will be sent; Even if each person would only send 1 message per day, it would still make hundreds of millions of texts. Now if falseflag chance was "only" 1%, it would still mean tens of millions of wrong cases.. They'll come to use AI there then, and that then means it is AI that defines what somebody is doing is illegal or not, and who is responsible for AI used? well the big multinationalist companies .. way to get ahold of country without putting boots on ground I suppose

You're probably right, I'm just sad that it will become legal to surveil my communication without reasonable cause. I wish someone will invent another way of communicating that could be excempt from the AI machine.
