The real objective is to break end-to-end encryption using the pretext of exaggerated threats of child abuse. ---------- "Internet companies are already required to report suspected CSAM if they come across it, and they report on a massive scale." "That scale already comes with a lot of mistakes. In particular, new scanning techniques used by Facebook have produced many millions of reports to law enforcement, most of them apparently inaccurate." "Federal law enforcement has used the massive number of reports produced by this low-quality scanning to suggest there has been a huge uptick in CSAM images." "Then, armed with misleading statistics, the same law enforcement groups make new demands to break encryption or, as with EARN IT, hold companies liable if they don’t scan user content."
