EU Commission’s latest attempt to backdoor your privacy tries the Trump era William Barr justice department “think of the children” playbook.
No one thinks we shouldn’t do everything in our power to combat child sexual abuse. Some of us just don’t want to destroy the fundamental human right to privacy (and every other human right that’s based on it) in the process.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •And it at best questionable whether sending random private texts and sensitive photos by children to agencies for checking actually helps protect children from sexual exploitation.
We don’t want old hags and geezers to stare at our kids images and exploit their weaknesses, so we build it into every smartphones that our kids messages and images can be sent to some hags and geezers for checking.
Call me jaded, but I can’t believe that *all* of those would be as trustworthy as needed.
