The actual proposal is named (the predictably bland) "Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse". It's critics who like to call it "Chat Control", and I don't think we want to be arresting them over that.
- varispeed 1y agoThat's nothing new. See: “Law on the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service” (1933, Nazi Germany) - bland wording, but it was the law that purged Jews and political opponents from public life. But it is actually on brand - terrorist organisations use do-gooding labels in order to draw support while pushing coercion.

That's very different than thinking proponents call it something bland but really understanding the content says another that opponents give it a bad name for.
