scanned locally or externally? that's what i care about
- Phemist 9mo agoDon't buy into the framing. No scanning at all is what I care about.
- like_any_other 9mo agoDon't buy into that framing either. Optional scanning - if a user wants to, they are free to download government spyware onto their phone/computer and do all the scanning they want, local or otherwise. No new laws needed.
- rdm_blackhole 9mo agoI agree. If someone is happy for a government worker/algorithm to snoop through everything they send to anyone, feel free to opt in, just don't force us to participate.
- Natfan 9mo agoif it provably isn't networked and is ephemeral with no logging, then i potentially don't have an issue with it
- like_any_other 9mo agoYou have no issue with censorship, as long as there's no surveillance to go with it?
- Natfan 9mo agoparents should have government issued tools for safeguarding their children's devices. it's insane that we have so many standards and guidance for how to keep children safe. but when it comes to the internet, it's either a wild west with no restrictions, or huge government overreach that negatively impacts the adult community. both are important.
- tremon 9mo agoBut that someone is forcing all their contacts into the snooping scheme unless they never communicate with anyone.
- rdm_blackhole 9mo agoThat is why I said for them and their family. If you use app A and that app is scanned for "malicious" content then I will message you on app B where there is no such scanning. If you don't want to use app B then I guess we can't be friends. I mean at some point you need to make some choices. But the beauty is that if anyone wants to talk through app A exclusively and their contacts are happy to respond on the same platform, then they can do that. The rest of us can use app B.
- ChrisRR 9mo agoPreferably not scanned at all
- doublerabbit 9mo agoExternally. When is anything ever scanned internally.
