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.
Too bad you can’t outlaw math
Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.
Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?
I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.
Maybe, just maybe, if anti CSAM activists didn’t let themselves be abused by surveillance fanatics and authoritarians over and over and over again to reduce privacy and other basic rights to the point where any mention of “protecting the children” is now seen by the vast majority of people as almost certainly an excuse for horrible rights abuses whenever it is mentioned by politicians we wouldn’t be in this situation.
