Do we actually have any proof of this?
I see this argument often, it's basically taken as an obvious truth in tech circles at this point, but I've seen very little evidence of that happening so far.
To be clear, I think these anti-CSAM laws are pretty terrible, but I wouldn't attribute malice where simple incompetence suffices, as the saying goes.

It's entirely possible that the people currently advocating, and the current would-be users will only target our current definition of "bad people". On a long enough time horizon, every power will be abused. The "bad people" will be redefined, or the ends will justify the means.

- lost_tourist 3y agoWhy not both? Incompetence AND lust for power. It's evident all over humanity, back as long as we have recorded history. You can see it from an assistant manager at your local convenient mart all the way up to Presidency and Prime Ministership. Every bit of liberty you cede to these jokers is one you likely won't get back. I don't want that for my children or descendants.
