I absolutely will not run someone's server-side malware to look at the contents of all the messages my people transmit.
I have zero tolerance for CSAM. I can report, have reported, and will continue to report instances of it that I stumble across as part of my job moderating the server I host. Damned if I'm running EU's "vetted" software though. There's also approximately nil chance of American authorities attempting to force American entities to run EU software on their US-hosted servers. My doctor's office has an encrypted chat where I can ask my doctor questions. You think anyone's going to make them filter those HIPAA-covered messages through the EU?
I'm not sure what you're really going on about here - there's a massive amount of proven history of EU/US law enforcement using each other's surveillance technology and legal loopholes to exchange information. War on drugs, CSAM, human trafficking are oft cited reasons.
There's pretty much zero chance that US would reject use and insight into private communication if EU puts it into law and forces upon messaging apps. We have literally pile of historical examples where FBI & co. were actively pushing for more of such data sharing programs. - So what exactly is your point? Where did you get an idea that you'll be running "EU software" and that US will defend you if you get into a CSAM suspected database list?
