The EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of your private communication – or total surveillance in the name of child protection. This would be the worst surveillance apparatus outside of China, and completely disproportionate. Affected would be all communication providers, also when operating outside of Europe. We must fight against this draft to protect our privacy! 💪💪💪

@Tutanota Is that the so called "the free world"?
@Tutanota His closing point is on the money. There's no such thing as a back door only for the good guys. And who defines the "good guys"?
@expat Thanks for your feedback, will add this to the post. It's Child Sexual Abuse Material.
@mrk Fortunately we have legal encryption ...yet
@Tutanota Time for a “Finnegan’s Wake” bot. Feed them infinite James Joyce spam.
@Tutanota I hope this plan NEVER ends up materialising!! It's well-intentioned, but an incredibly stupid idea.
@Tutanota How would client-side scanning work on FOSS OSes? Given how easy software copy-protection is to circumvent, how would it even work (reliably) on closed-source OSes? I get that protecting children is not the aim, what I'm asking about is what would something like this look like once implemented?
