    Taking this with a grain of salt coming from the UK. The same UK who really wants to backdoor encryption, and isn’t subject to the EU (Brexit).

    It’s shitty that CSAM is a problem, but it’s not a solution to backdoor encryption and vacuum everyone’s data. This is what would happen. It starts with ‘protecting the children’ and moves quickly into abuse of privilege.

      They only wanted a back door for regular citizens. The governments would always be secure.

      So that tells you everything you need to know.
