It's only a "CSAM proposal" as far as the Patriot Act is a "anti-terrorist law", even though it's routinely used against ordinary citizens and lower level crime

It's only a "CSAM proposal" as far as the Patriot Act is a "anti-terrorist law", even though it's routinely used against ordinary citizens and lower level crimes.
CSAM is merely the trojan horse, it's not hard to see how this would be extended to ban wrongthink. After all, Germany and the UK already severely limit speech.
For example, the UK charged and convicted a young woman for posting the lyrics to a rap song in honor of her recently deceased friend because it happened to have the soft N-word in it. [1]
Europe has repeatedly and systematically attacked free speech and encryption on multiple fronts.
