I’m not sure what kind of algorithm they could use to find CSAM.
Only material… can be detected
Impossible, they have to scan everything to detect it. They are fucking liars.
“Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched”
Searched in what? All open and private discussions? That is the whole f-ing point!
It’s super smart, they will only monitor criminal activity, specifically.
And how, pray tell, will you “search for and detect” child abuse, without the general monitoring of online communications?
They’re playing dumb. Search through what?
I can genuinely believe that the people putting this forward are clueless enough about the tech to not understand why this doesn’t make sense.
Still shouldn’t happen.
Why are politicians exempt then?
I don’t understand this question. Does that impact what I said one way or the other?
Actually, I’ve been looking for where in the text that exemption is defined. If you have a link I’d love to see it. I’ve skimmed the proposal but couldn’t find it at a glance. I’ve only seen it mentioned in social media posts.
CluelessMisinformed by palantirI heard an interview with Hummelgaard who put it forward this time, and he is absolutely raging clueless.
Argumentum ad “we’re not calling it that.”
We gotta spy on everything to detect the bad stuff, but we’re only gonna detect the bad stuff! That’s different, somehow!
Can I ping mastodon from lemmy?

Why are there no replies in that thread? In that post you say something that appears to go completely against technological possibility, and people are asking questions. Why are you not replying? What kind of outrach account is this that behaves this way?
I’ve not looked into this chat control thing (I did sign the thing opposing it, don’t worry), what’s it about? Specifically, how would they prevent me using a chat app they can’t look into?
It’s a stupid thing to go at anyway, chat. Its obvious people will hate it and organize against it. On the other actual pedos will find a way to encrypt it if they know someone could be watching. And on the other other hand they set so many guardrails, it would take a shitton of judges and signatures to actually go and look.
It would make way more sense to put more effort in other places. I think, but I don’t know a lot about hunting pedos.
how would they prevent me using a chat app they can’t look into?
I dont think they can, unless they get android and iOS to do this os wide. The bigger problem is: will the public care enough to use such a messenger? Will they do it when it becomes illegal to use such a messenger? If not, mass surveillance is inevitable and those sidestepping it for important privacy reasons are easily detectable making them easy targets.
You think they could easily find out people who are using an app they can’t check? How?
Pretty much every messenger is built around a central server. Tracing connections to that server is not without hassle but doable with government resources. Now, a Briar-Style P2P Network could work but that has it’s own problems. Central servers are popular for a reason.
Decentralised messaging to the rescue!
Man, fuck webp. Fuck you but thanks for the laugh
I’m curious how this will work with GDPR. Will they be allowed to look through my stuff but keep none of it unless it’s illegal?

So, the European Commission has the money to hire a PR department?
Not particularly news, but oh well.
