I really think it’s disgusting to boldly claim this is just to protect children. Then get the proposal denied with very valid reasoning that everyone’s privacy would be compromised.
And then, a few months later, they have the exact same argument again with the same proposal as before… This seems deeply disrespectful of the subject matter
It feels like a someone is trying to steal a cookie from a cookie jar, but when mum said no you just try again the exact same way…
hasn’t some EU entity just ruled that it’s illegal?

Niceties like the rule of law and human rights are merely suggestions to oligarchs and surveillance capitalism.
“Remember, terrorists and pedos exist, so we need to abandon any presumption of privacy and monitor everyone’s activity 24/7… For your freedoms!”
— the oligarchy, including the wealthiest terrorists and pedos in history
all of this
We have to fight them back every time. They only have to get lucky once.
Looking at this as well https://european-pirateparty.eu/eidas-pirates-dont-support-citizen-surveillance/ the future of privacy looks bleak.
this destroys our digital privacy of correspondence. Despite lip service being paid to encryption, client-side scanning is to be used to undermine previously secure end-to-end encryption in order to turn our smartphones into spies – this destroys secure encryption.
We’ll be moving towards local storage + local hard drives backups, since anything that goes through a server or a chat service seems to be under attack. Also fuck the Irish government.
