Might I suggest that people check that before jumping to conclusions. My reading is that the main issue is putting limits on the companies that were already doing this (as mentioned, Google, fb, etc) and that's already privacy violating.
Protecting privacy and encryption is important, but I really think the Pirates cry wolf more often than not. I might be wrong, of course.
> In the case of technology used for identifying solicitation, such concrete elements of suspicion should be based on objectively identified risk factors such as age difference and the likely involvement of a child in the scanned communication.
> (17b) End-to-end encryption is an important tool to guarantee secure and confidential communications of users, including those of children. Any weakening of encryption could potentially be abused by malicious third parties. Nothing in this Regulation should therefore be interpreted as prohibiting or weakening end-to-end encryption.
- Aerroon 5y agoThe EU always says this. Then they point at that one sentence and say: "See, we're protecting end-to-end encryption!" If the EU were an oil company they'd write: "Our oil is not allowed to be used in activities that are harmful to the climate." Then they'd go on to sell oil as usual while constantly claiming to protect the environment.
