The most privacy focused messaging app I know is [SimpleX Chat](https://simplex.chat/), it has no user IDs, is FOSS, e2e encrypted with an option to use TOR, give it a try!

Simplex was bubbling about implementing CSAM. Any client mentioning it is not safe, period...

I have no idea about this, but as of now anyone can register.
For reference, CSAM is Belgium's government portal and a system of login, as far as I know, so I assume it would be used to check if someone is a minor at the time of registration
Child safety is important but implementing this would kind of defeat the purpose of a privacy focused app.
I agree that just gatekeeping children and therefore verifying everyone with a government platform, but then it raises the question on how to improve child safety on an app that's self-hostable with not even user IDs to identify the users?
I don't have an answer to that, but I don't like just saying "This solution is bad", I always try to add "So try this instead, because XXX"
