Does the proposal include chat services that are run by corporations only? If so, how will that prevent people from setting up their own chat infrastructure for child-abuse purposes?

Besides that, how about educating people on how to do exactly that: Set up their own chat service.

That would put control in the hands of those people who are not only responsible for protecting children but also have the most leverage to do that: The parents.

It won't.

I’m very interested to see how this will affect https://chitchatter.im/, a serverless, self-hostable chat app I built. Would it be exempt from this EU proposal?
