  > Hosting services affected include web hosting, social media, video streaming services, file hosting and cloud services > Even personal storage that is not being shared, such as Apple’s iCloud, will be subject to chat control This is new to me. In that case it looks like all services with encryption 'baked in' lose their effectiveness. And that encryption/decryption of text & data needs to be done independently of said service layer to regain privacy. What if generic encryption apps would integrate with chat apps and the like?

Unless the rules will be adapted at some point that general encryption needs to be scanned as well, but that would be impractical and undesirable for the EU as well.
