Does this affect us if we chat through a non-EU country via VPN? And through a combo of non-EU VPN and non-EU chat service?

- rdm_blackhole 2y agoVPN won't save you this is CSS(client side scanning), the scan happens before the encryption of the message/image/video before being sent to the servers.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoAt some point they will figure out, that people use VPNs to access messengers. Then they will go after the VPNs. Think of the ChIldReN! And the TeRrOrIsTs!!11 And then we will have a situation here similar to China, where most VPNs do not work, and assumingly only state-cooperating ones work, but are actually illegal now.

- raxxorraxor 2y agoWith this it would still be enough to just use an OS that lets you decide what to install. Namely not iOS, Android, ChromeStuff, Windows S or these other shitty locked down environments big tech companies sell to naive users. Despite the technical possibilities, these bills should not be accepted and in my opinion directly contradict European rights. If they do not, these rights don't hold any value because the case is that obvious.
- jrexilius 2y agoNot sure about this current proposal but the previous one was on-the-phone based, which Apple double-timed into production so capability is there for EU to access when they finally flip the switch. That proposal would mean that it is Apple and Google that would provide access to your data before any apps or VPNs saw it (i.e. at the OS of the phone level). This new proposal sounds like maybe they backtracked on that and will just coerce the app and platforms?... not sure.
