I think the problem is different. This is not about a technical possibility. This is about who will submit and manage the CSAM fingerprints. With the technology it will be trivial for oppressive governments to query which citizens have a copy of a particular image on their phone.
Consider a scenario:
- you use whatsapp, end-to-end encrypted by an USA company
- someone, perhaps a random stranger, sends you an image in which there is a criticism to a ruling party in Dabujistan
- your whatsapp has turned on the feature to save images on your phone
- you happen to transfer via Dabujistan
With CSAM tech, and fingerprints managed by the governments, you might be subject to jail.
- JCharante 3y agoThe unfortunate part about a centralized CSAM list is that now you need a committee to review every CSAM addition (not just the hashes but the source material to confirm it's CSAM and not political) and the committee has to have enough people to make sure the committee isn't all in kahoots
- mordae 3y ago> This is about who will submit and manage the CSAM fingerprints. Not it's not. It's about "Why the fuck should I be under constant surveillance?" Our computers are practically brain extensions at this point. I don't want anyone wiretapping my thoughts or coming close to it by wiretapping my private conversations with my family. Fuck off.
