    I wish they would report on this more honestly.

    Europe and Australia both back down on mass surveillance in the name of CSAM

    FIFY

    Not to worry: while the EU may have backed down on the “Chat Control” legislation (again. For now), it’s not the only mass surveillance law in the pipeline that’s being prepared behind closed doors! The “security by design” proposal – which does the opposite of what the name implies – would get us mass scale surveillance and storing of all our electronic communication and not just images, and would require all encryption used in the EU (by us plebs, that is) to be interceptable.

    Like somebody said in an earlier article about Chat Control, we need to fight these fascist proposals infinitely many times, but they only have to succeed once.

    Oh wow, I really didn’t expect this, and aside from all the problems with sex trafficking, this is a huge win for privacy… for now

      Privacy is implied when you say “innocent until proven guilty”. Surveillance assumes the opposite.

    And if they do they deserve to be processed for being pedos and dumb AF… LMAO

      We actually had this happen at a place I worked at.

      Old bloke came in to get his computer looked at since it wasn’t working too well. The guys found all kinds of shit on his desktop so they took it out the back and called the cops.

      He ended up in jail which is nice.

        If he is enough dumb to take his desktop to repair containing a CP collection, he definetly belongs to jail… this remember me about Hunter Biden BTW.

      I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught

      And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.

      They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.

      unless they are dumb AF

      The good news is that there is no correlation between high intelligence and pedophilia.
