Can someone explain to an American what chat control is?

Basically scanning communications and breaking encryption, under the guise of predictably stopping child abuse

and technically, how would they achieve this?

Force all the big platforms to share their encrypted data. Banning end-to-end encryption. It's all very stupid and will never actually catch any bad guys.

I have been running my own matrix server andere cliënt for a while. So if I keep running it and just don't update it, that would suddenly be illegal? Geus it is time to see how my for relay is doing.

No any self hosted isn't on the radar. By big, they mean the centralized giants, i.e. Meta, Google, Telegram, Signal(?) etc.
