  3. Did you miss our circus reports? Thought the clowns are gone? Unfortunately not – we just didn't want to bore you with weekly updates on those "alleged malware findings". We still keep track, though – and we now have a better place to keep the protocols. So let me share that place with you:

    I've got an alternative idea if this madness actually goes through and we can't find a solution to circumvent it legally or not....

    Instead of just running, let's turn every single phone into a weapon of digital disobedience.Imagine if an 'outlaw' OS (or a simple mod) automatically appended a 'bag of forbidden words' to every message, hidden in metadata or invisible text, containing a random mix of terms guaranteed to trigger the system.
    If millions of people sent billions of these 'poisoned' messages, Chat Control would collapse under the sheer weight of false positives. It would be the biggest DDoS attack in history, powered purely by civil disobedience......

    If everything is suspicious, nothing is.
