Like any other corruption. Any scanning system will have people in charge of it. Those people are corruptible.

- xadhominemx 4y agoCould you be more specific?
- Dma54rhs 4y agoBy normalising surveillance of course?
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoWhy?
- xadhominemx 4y agoBecause this scheme is actually a thoughtful way to address a real problem affecting real children. Giving zero ground on privacy to address problems like child sex exploitation is not workable over the long term - there will be some sacrifices to digital privacy, same as in every other aspect of life. So it would be good if you could provide specific faults with this scheme, so we can evaluate how bad those faults are compared to addressing some amount child exploitation, and compare this scheme to alternatives.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y ago>there will be some sacrifices to privacy I think what you're hearing is that your preference for these sacrifices in furtherance of the end is not shared by some other people. As for specific faults, that's not really necessary, plenty of general ones have been shared (like the lack of transparency, potential for abuse) which do not need specifics to be understood. As for evaluating one vs. the other, I feel that your opinion as to the result of that evaluation might not necessarily be mine, and neither of us will convince each other, as a result of the fundamental difference in the amount of privacy each of us is willing to give up, and in exchange for what.
- xadhominemx 4y agoI know you don’t want to give any ground on privacy, but it’s gonna happen. So is there a better way to solve this problem or not?
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoAs others have pointed out, it's not incumbent upon those opposed to a policy to come up with an alternative. Rather, it's literally legislators' job to do that. However, as others have also pointed out, child sex abuse has both existed and been prosecuted before this law has come into effect. Thus, the alternative I personally prefer is that. I understand your principles and willingness to sacrifice privacy lead you to another solution, but hey, you asked.
