Forgive me if this is an obvious stupid question, but with all this talk (again) about the EU trying to force chat platforms to check the content of its messages, I can help but think: how are they ever going to prevent me and my friend from sharing public keys and using them to encrypt our messages to each other? In other words: how are they ever going to be able to ban encryption?

Do you really think that they still are monitoring an paleolitic, forgotten since almost 50 years (1971), pre-internet command line protocol, like Finger, transmitted with a Ping not even over web? They have enough with monitoring high tech steganographic encrypted chats and socialnet, I2P and TOR network. It's something like a knock on the door, asking if someone is at home, serve for short text messages Often the best hideout is a plain sight,
