I've done an essay as my exam for an ethics course in uni, and choose to talk about chat control. I came up with very funny ways to circumvent scanning images. The easiest one would be to just encrypt an image and send the key and the encrypted message on different platforms to the recipient, I highly doubt they will be tied to the single user.

Another - funnier way - would be to send the image as a file, and the recipient should convert it back to an image. Of course this could be automated as well on the scanning side, but if the regulation only talks about images, it should be safe. Not that I would do this if chat control happened and I would need some way to secure the content



They'll just declare circumventing the law a crime too, rubber hoses and all that.
