Who, and why do they want it?
- pie_flavor 3y agoThe politicians saying they need to curb CSAM, mean exactly what they say they mean. The problem is exactly as big as they say it is. That doesn't make their desired angle of attack a good idea, but if you make predictions based on the assumption they mean something completely different and want to spy on people, or that they're being influenced by people who do, you're going to predict wrong. There's a reason many of them are fixated on trying to fingerprint CSAM content out of encrypted messages without decrypting them, something that would not enable the government spying everyone seems convinced it's really for.
- lost_tourist 3y agoAlmost all governments want this because they want more power and more control over people's lives.
- autoexec 3y agoSeems like everyone who wants to spy on and control you has a strong interest in outlawing encryption or anything else that stands in their way.
