    No they won’t. The bill is against social media companies, not your own encryption measures. Where the line exactly falls between hand-coding your own cypher; using good old PGP; using an app to encrypt but sending via a separate service; using an e2ee messaging app+service; being on a community/group-focused e2ee service; normal unencrypted-on-server social media… Going by the Reuters article (I haven’t read the actual bill) it seems mostly aimed at main social media platforms, with a to-be-explored relationship with private messages.
