That is a general statement that does not apply here. This "solution" would have created tens of thousands of false positives, which means the victims, even if not prosecuted, would have been put on an observation list for life.
The "solution" would have been abused for other surveillance or been used as a rationale for even more surveillance.
It is a social issue that does not have technical solutions. The worst abuse cases (like the horrific Regensburg Dome boys choir case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/18/boys-abused-germany-catholic-regensburger-domspatzen-school https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/18/boys-abused-ge...) occurred before the Internet. If the EU is so interested in the issue, how about prosecuting known cases instead of a half apology. Chat Control could have done exactly nothing here.
- rdm_blackhole 2y agotens of thousands false positives only? I think you are severely underestimating the number of messages exchanged each and every day in the EU. I think the number of false positives would be in the millions after a few weeks if not a few days. That is why such a system is simply not workable.
