There are immense lobbying attempt by large tech companies. Otherwise nobody in tech circle really supports this at all. On the contrary, the rest of the industry is more or less unanimously against this with a lot of experts deriding the ideas.
Also some civil rights activist that believe this proposal to be quite illegal.
- anonzzzies 3y agoWell most people who work in tech and who are technical that I know personally, are, to my surprise, in favour of it. I just asked them after reading comments here. But they, like many, did not inform themselves; they just ‘want more protection for children’.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoPerhaps there is a regional difference, but I don't know a single developer that is in favor of it. I don't see how anyone with technical knowledge could come to a positive conclusion here if they look at error rates and problems to privacy. There were also public hearings with technical experts about feasibility that were said to be a huge embarrassment for people proposing the bill as the rejection was so clear. I think from nine experts, zero accepted the proposal and made pretty clear, that this is to be rejected with prejudice. The only ones in tech that I know of at least are those that want to sell their own AI solutions. As I said, there was quite a bit of lobbying.
