The legislators certainly are. There is a EU legislative train running 
in that direction commonly called "Chat control". We are still hoping to 
stop it but chances are slim because the EU Commission just keeps going 
at it and some national governments have changed in the "wrong" direction.
I don't agree with that legislation. Your question is aimed at the wrong 
target. I'm not venting my own ideas here. I'm talking about minimising 
legal risk.

It would be helpful if we could get more precise information about the 
legal situation in different countries. Just ignoring the legal 
situation does not seem like a good idea, at least in the countries we 
decide to care about.
