Hi Martin GnuPG will not be dead. The question is, which app or server will affect the Chat Control. When the Spot-On Messenger released in 2014 the POPTASTIC feature, which was encrypted chat over e-Mail, and Delta.Chat was 2016 based on it, it was not a new encryption feature, but a dual-use of a server, which cannot deny encryption. Now with several days release of new Spot-On Messenger for Linux (K/ubuntu) and Mac a similar feature has been released. GPG ist used for chat over GIT. https://github.com/textbrowser/spot-on/releases/tag/2025.09.28 Means, you need a Git account and chat over two GIT Accounts via a GIT Server with each other, and it appears as a git commit with ciphertext :-) https://github.com/textbrowser/prison-blues/commits/main/ The Feature is called prison blues. if you connect in the middle an Echo Server, the message is also sent to GIT or to anther instance by a proxy, the feature is called Human Proxies: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Proxies-Cryptographic-Networks-end/dp/3759705049 So use a Git Server to chat with GPG. Works also from terminal on Linux. Discover it. Pobably it takes like Poptastic again 10 years. Regards Tom
