Still better than the Cass Review.

In that case, is there any change? Companies could already do that if they wanted. Many of them already did.

It’s kind of unclear what “voluntary” means. Is it voluntary for countries to enforce? Is it voluntary for companies to scan chats?

In the UK the calculus is quite different, as it’s £0.25/kWh or over double the cost.

Also, an empty Synology 4-bay NAS can be gotten for like £200 second hand. Good enough if you only need file hosting. Mine draws about 10W compared to an old Optiplex that draws around 60W.

With that math using the NAS saves you 1.25 pence per hour. Therefore the NAS pays for itself in around about 2 years.

Given this, do we actually know that the French government is targeting GrapheneOS in a significant way, or is this just another dramatisation?

Thanks for the update (OP and publisher). It wasn’t clear from the previous posts given the ambiguous language.
