    Oh, thank you very much for explaining that. I apologised for my ignorance in advance because I didn’t know what was the difference in the encryption process regarding PGP.

    Now we just have to know if they get Chat Control in motion in the EU if they will ban PGP as an encryption method. The UK enacted the child safety’s act and VPN usage exploded. So they enforced age verification on VPN as well. We’re in a stronghold moment all over the world, where the powers are overreaching and “strangling” people’s rights and social freedoms.

    But thank you again for the clarification.

      No worries. It’s been a while since I saw anyone talking about PGP or GPG (the FOSS version).

      I think that the EU would have to ban the entire internet if they banned public key encryption. And that would make their corporations very sad.
