It’s absurd to suggest that users of an e2ee chat service can reasonably expect the government to “take a look” at the pictures they share. Software should have no such backdoors. This law does nothing to dissuade criminals but it does degrade the privacy expectations of regular people who are not suspected of any wrongdoing.
- fxtentacle 2y agoI somewhat agree with you. Also: It’s absurd to suggest that users of an e2ee chat service can reasonably expect the service provider to “take a look” at the pictures they share. But sadly, that's already happening. It's probably best to avoid sharing any private pictures on Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok or any public cloud. Because you never know who might have access or gain access in the future. And isn't Google actively scanning their Drive user's files and removing presumed adult content, too? And didn't Dropbox one tweet about the X-th file uploaded being a cat photo? How did they know?
